Celebrate Sandwich Day with the Ultimate grilled Cheese

Ultimate Grilled Cheese

bacon
tomato
cheese
artisanal crusty bread

 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large heavy pan, cook the bacon, one or two  stripes per person, turning frequently, until golden-brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Brush the bread slices on both sides with olive oil.
Slice the tomato into ¼ inch thick slices and place on ½ of the bread slices. Sprinkle a little bit of salt.
Place all the bread slices (both those that bear tomatoes and those that don’t) on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until the bread is golden and the tomatoes heated through.
Carefully  remove the pan from the oven and place slices of cheese on the tomato-free slices of bread.  Top the cheese with the cooked bacon.
Return the bread to the oven and continue cooking until  the cheese melts.
Carefully, using clean kitchen towels or mittens to protect you hands, combine the tomato slices and cheeses slices into sandwiches. Press them together to create a grilled-cheese effect and serve immediately.
