Smoky Mountain Grilled Cheese Stacks

Allergens

Dairy, Wheat

Ingredients

• 8 slices thick
• cut bacon
• 16 slices sourdough bread
• 4 oz smoked gouda, thinly sliced
• 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet or on a grill until crispy and browned. Set aside to cool, then crumble.
2. Spread one side of each sourdough slice with softened butter. Flip half of the slices over and spread the mustard evenly onto the unbuttered sides.
3. Top 8 buttered slices with smoked gouda, sharp cheddar, and crumbled bacon. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side down.
4. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat or preheat a griddle. Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese is melted, 2 3 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula during cooking if needed.
5. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally to create triangle stacks. Serve immediately with your favorite Southern sides.

Chef’s Insight

Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches while cooking to help them stick together and ensure even melting of the cheeses.

Notes

Perfect for a game day, tailgate party, or a comfort food-lover's dream.
