This is what I would describe as my “kicked up” version of a grilled cheese. My cheese of choice is sharp cheddar; however, choose whatever type you fancy. Easy/Peasy to make, and the siracha gives it a bit of heat. And, something great to go along with this would be some yummy tomato soup. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sandwich essentials: bacon, cheese, pickle on rye

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 3
    Place the bacon into a pan over medium heat, and cook until crispy, about 3 – 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Drain on paper towels, and reserve. My little buddy (Guru) wants him some bacon.
  • Step 5
    Remove the bacon grease from the pan.
  • Step 6
    Add the siracha and mayonnaise together and spread half on one side of the rye bread.
  • Step 7
    Chef’s Note: For a bigger bang, add more siracha.
  • Step 8
    Add the bread, mayo side down to the pan, then add half the cheese.
  • Step 9
    Add the bacon.
  • Step 10
    Add the pickles.
  • Step 11
    Add the remainder of the cheese.
  • Step 12
    Add the other rye slice to the top, and brush with the remaining mayo/siracha.
  • Step 13
    Cook over medium to medium-low heat, until toasted on both sides, and the cheese is nice and melty, about 3 – 4 minutes per side.
  • Step 14
    I use a weight to press down on the sandwich as it is cooking.
  • Step 15
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So yummy
    Step 16
    Serve while still hot with chips, or whatever you fancy. Enjoy.
