You can’t go wrong with a classic bacon and tomato sandwich—crispy, juicy, and totally satisfying. Here’s a standout version that adds a gourmet twist with melted provolone, fresh basil, and a brush of Italian dressing:
🥪 Grilled Bacon-Tomato Sandwiches
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
4 slices Italian bread (½ inch thick)
4 slices provolone cheese
4 slices tomato
4 cooked bacon strips
2 tsp fresh basil (or ½ tsp dried)
2 tbsp Italian salad dressing
Instructions:
Top 2 bread slices with a slice of cheese each.
Layer with 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon strips, half the basil, and another cheese slice.
Add the remaining bread slices on top.
Brush the outside of the sandwiches with Italian dressing.
Toast in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and melty.
This version is a step up from your standard BLT—think of it as the BLT’s cooler, grilled cousin. Want to try it with pepper jack or swap in sourdough? I’ve got ideas.
