Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Fresh Salad – A Crispy, Cheesy Delight

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Assemble the Sandwich:

Butter one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, layer a slice of cheese, followed by crispy bacon, and then the second slice of cheese.
Place the second slice of bread on top, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.
Grill the Sandwich:

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Prepare the Salad & Serve:

Toss mixed greens with your favorite dressing.
Serve the grilled cheese alongside the fresh salad and garnish with fresh herbs.
Add potato slices or a dipping sauce like ketchup if desired.
