Grilled cheese sandwiches are not just for kids. Make them special like Panera Bread does with Cheddar, Gruyere and Fontina cheeses, tomato slices and bacon. Oh, and kids will love them too!
4 slices Panera or other Country White Bread
softened butter, for spreading
1 1/2 oz. Fontina cheese, sliced
1 1/2 oz. Gruyere cheese, sliced or shredded
1 1/2 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, sliced
3 oz. Roma tomatoes, sliced
4 pieces Applewood smoked bacon, crisply cooked
Cook bacon until crisp; drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat.
Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter. On the unbuttered side of each of the 2 bread slices, layer the cheeses, tomato slices, and bacon; top with the 2 remaining bread slices.
Place sandwiches in heated skillet; cook until cheeses are melted and both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
