How do I make grilled cheese more interesting?
Other than wrapping it with bacon? Add items to your grilled cheese like avocado, onions (raw and sauteed), tomatoes, peppers, spinach, arugula are some good choices. You could also change up the bread or change up the cheese.
What is a good cheese to use for grilled cheese?
My favs are American, cheddar and muenster. However, Provolone and Swiss work too.
Is mayo or butter better for grilled cheese?
I think this will be a personal preference. I like butter on the outside of the bread and mayo on the inside. But, for this, you could put mayo or butter on the inside and leave the outside alone.

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Cheese
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 Slices Bacon Long, not center cut.
- 2 Slices Bread
- 2 Slices Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat griddle/skillet to medium high heat.
- Lay out 3 slices of bacon, side by side on a flat surface. I used my cutting board.
- Place a slice of bread in the middle, on top of the bacon slices.
- Add your cheese on top of the bread.
- Place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese (making the sandwich).
- Fold over the bacon on both sides of the sandwich.
- Move sandwich aside. Lay out another 3 slices of bacon, side by side. Place the already wrapped sandwich on top, seam side down and opposite direction.
- Fold over the bacon on both sides.
- Place seam side down on preheated griddle/skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes.
- Flip. **When flipping, slide your spatula under the bacon in the same direction the bacon is laying as to not separate the bacon.
- Sear the bacon on the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the sides of the sandwich by using tongs and holding on the heat for 30 seconds each side. Let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing.
