Grilled Cheese with Bacon Crumble and Creamy Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 slice bread slices
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 oz cheddar cheese
• 4 slice bacon
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble when cool enough to handle.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly.

3. 3

   Gradually whisk in 0.5 cup heavy cream, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

4. 4

   Spread the remaining 1 tbsp butter on one side of each bread slice. Place 2 slices buttered-side down in a skillet over medium heat.

5. 5

   Top each with 2 oz cheddar cheese and the other bread slice, buttered-side up. Cook until golden brown and cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Slice each sandwich in half, drizzle with the creamy sauce, and sprinkle with the bacon crumble. Serve warm.
