{Substitute the cheddar for Daiya dairy free cheese. Option to leave out bacon too}

INGREDIENTS

✨Bacon

✨Sourdough bread

✨Cheddar cheese

✨Butter ( @countrycrock vegan avocado oil butter)

HOW TO

✨Start cooking bacon in a pan on medium heat with a fork or tongs nearby for flipping the bacon allowing it to get extra crispy(unless you like it floppy)

✨Remove bacon from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess grease

✨Drain excess grease from pan(Tip: pour grease into an empty can and put in the freezer to throw away next time to take the trash out)

✨Add 2 TBSP butter to pan and place one piece of bread down. Then add cheddar cheese, bacon strips, more cheddar cheese, and top with other bread slice

✨Cook on medium-low heat and let each side get golden brown, watching closely(Tip: keep flipping)
