Thick Cut Sourdough
Look for an uncut loaf of sourdough bread at your local market or bakery. Cut it nice and thick (1/2″ – 3/4″). Butter both sides and great ready to have your mind blown.
Cheese Imagination
Forget the American cheese, that’s for kids. This is an adult grilled cheese sandwich. Get some nice fontina and some asiago. Also get a bit of parmesan. Grate the cheeses and pile them high on one piece of bread. Why use grated cheese? Well, because it melts better. There is a lot more surface area on grated cheese to come into contact with all that hot air inside a waffle maker so it melts faster. Add some parmesan on the inside and add more on the outside. It will brown a bit and create a wonderful crusty goodness.
Bacon Makes Everything Better
Sorry, did I forget to mention the bacon? Yes, put a big thick piece of bacon in that sandwich (cooked of course). You will be glad that you did.

Spray the waffle iron with a little bit of cooking spray to help keep the cheese from sticking. Place the sandwich in the middle of the waffle iron.
Cook until the cheese has melted and the outside of the bread is light golden brown. Serve it hot.
