Bacon Cheese & Tomato - Broiled Open Face Sandwich image

One of my favorites. I have two rules for this sandwich. Always use Pepperidge Farm Original White Bread and make two per person as one is never enough.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices pepperidge farm original white bread
2 slices American cheese
1 tomatoes, cut in thin slices
3 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Pre-heat broiler.
  • Place bread on a broiler safe pan. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheese then a slice of tomato. Depending on how big your tomato slice is you may want to put on two but keep it a single layer of tomato. Cut each slice of bacon into 2 pieces. Then lay 3 of the pieces on each sandwich. Broil until bacon is crisp and cheese melted. Bread and cheese may get a little burnt. That makes it better!
  • Note: Originally I put raw bacon on the sandwich and cooked it all the way under the broiler. Now I cut the strips in half and partiality cook in micro-wave and then put on sandwich and broil to finish cooking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Bacon slices
4 thick slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese
1 large red apple

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 4 slices bacon on a rimmed baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup); bake until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; tear each slice into quarters.
  • Place 4 thick slices whole-wheat sandwich bread on clean baking sheet. Top with sliced cheddar cheese, red apple, quartered, cored, and sliced crosswise, and bacon. Bake until cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Look for thick-cut bacon: It adds a wonderful texture and flavor to the sandwich.
  • Buy the best cheese: Use a cheese that melts well and has a sharp flavor, such as cheddar or Gruyere.
  • Butter the bread: This will help the sandwich brown nicely and give it a crispy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the sandwiches so that they can cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the sandwiches: They can burn quickly, so watch them closely and remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
  • If you have a broiler: You can broil the sandwiches instead of baking them. To do this, preheat the broiler to high and broil the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • For a vegetarian version: You can omit the bacon and add sliced tomato or avocado instead.

Conclusion:

This 1940s open-face bacon cheese broiled sandwich is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover bacon and cheese. With just a few ingredients, you can have a hot and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
