Description
Get ready to experience the ultimate grilled cheese masterpiece – the Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Melt! This decadent sandwich combines the melty goodness of sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Provolone cheeses with crispy bacon and a creamy ranch dressing, all nestled between slices of thick-cut brioche bread or Texas toast.
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut brioche bread or Texas toast
- 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
- 4 oz Provolone cheese (or Velveeta), sliced
- 8 strips bacon
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- Sliced jalapeños for heat
- Caramelized onions for extra flavor
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels, reserving the delicious rendered fat for later use.
2. Spread the softened butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, spread the ranch dressing. Layer the cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Provolone cheeses, followed by the crispy bacon. If you’re feeling adventurous, add sliced jalapeños or caramelized onions for an extra flavor boost.
3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the assembled sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
4. Slice the Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Melt and serve it warm, while the cheese is still deliciously melted and the bread is perfectly crispy. Savor every bite and revel in the indulgent flavors that come together in this mouthwatering creation.
Notes
The Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Melt is a versatile sandwich that lends itself well to various flavor profiles. For those seeking a spicy twist, add sliced jalapeños to the sandwich for a bold kick. Alternatively, caramelized onions can provide a sweet and savory contrast to the rich cheese and bacon.
As for pairings, the Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Melt pairs beautifully with a crisp salad, creamy tomato soup, or a side of crunchy potato chips. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside a hearty soup or a fresh fruit salad. And don’t forget to wash it down with your favorite beverage, whether it’s a cold glass of iced tea, a refreshing lemonade, or a bold craft beer.
