Grilled Cheese With Thousand Island Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 slices veggie bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
8 slices sourdough bread
12 ounces cotswold cheese (double Gloucester with chives) or 12 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
4 tablespoons thousand island dressing

Preparation

Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Heat the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
Add 2 bread slices. Top each with one-quarter of the cheese and 2 strips bacon.
Spread 2 bread slices with some of the dressing and press them on top of the sandwiches, dressing-side down.
Cook until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Repeat to make 2 more sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.
