Garlic-Rubbed Bacon & Tomato Grilled Cheese

What you need:

• 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
• Shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• Italian bread (I used Italian sourdough)
• 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced thinly
• 1 to 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half

Directions:

1. Lay down 4 slices of bread and top with some cheese. Then add 2 slices of bacon to each piece of bread and then a few slices of tomato. Top with some more cheese and then second slice of bread.
2. Butter the outside of both slices of each sandwich.
3. Brown each side in a skillet over medium heat.
4. After both sides have browned, remove from skillet and immediately rub each side of all sandwiches with cut side of the garlic cloves.
