Ingredients List
- 1oz Tillamook Unsalted Butter
- 2oz Tillamook Sharp Cheddar, shredded
- 2oz Tillamook Monterey Jack, shredded
- 1 thick cut slice of Challah bread
- 3 slices of Niman Ranch Bacon
- 2oz baby arugula
- 2 – 3 tomatoes slices
Preparation/Instructions
Lightly butter one side of thick sliced Challah bread and place it butter side down on medium heated pan or flat grill. Place shredded Sharp Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheese on bread. Let cheese melt while checking the underside so as not to burn. In a separate pan cook the bacon until crispy. Once desired melted cheese consistency has been reached, remove from heat and top with baby arugula, bacon and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy.
