Switch up the cheese—pepper jack gives a nice kick—or use sliced kielbasa, ham or sausage in place of the bacon in this versatile grilled cheese sandwich. —Kallee Krong-McCreery, Escondido, California

Test Kitchen tips
  • Nothing perks up a grilled cheese sandwich more than a slice of fresh tomato. Go ahead and add it just after the cheese melts but before you assemble the sandwich.
  • Mayo may seem like a strange ingredient to spread on the outside of the bread, but when it's grilled, it melts quickly and creates a beautiful golden brown color.

    Text Ingredients

    Directions

    1. Using a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, cut out center from 1 slice of bread (discard center or save for another use). Spread mayonnaise on 1 side of both bread slices. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, lightly toast slice with cutout, mayonnaise side down, over medium-low heat. Flip slice; crack an egg into center. Add remaining bread slice, mayonnaise side down, to skillet; layer with cheese and bacon.
    2. Cook, covered, until egg white is set, yolk is soft-set and cheese begins to melt. If needed, flip bread slice with egg to finish cooking. To assemble sandwich, use solid slice as bottom and cutout slice as top.
