cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while processed cheese is often cheaper.

Shred the cheese before using it for better melting.

Cook bacon on the Traeger Flat Rock griddle, starting at medium heat.

Increase the temperature to medium-high if the bacon is cooking slowly.

Cook bacon until crispy, then remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Assemble the sandwiches by layering a thin layer of cheese on each slice of bread.

Add cooked bacon on top of the cheese.

Add more cheese on top of the bacon before closing the sandwich with another slice of bread.

Brush a thin layer of olive oil on the griddle before placing the sandwiches down.

Add butter to the outside of the sandwiches for browning.

Cook the sandwiches on medium-low heat, adjusting the temperature as needed to prevent burning.

Check the sandwiches periodically to ensure they are browning evenly and the cheese is melting properly.

Once the bottom is golden brown, flip the sandwiches carefully and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
