Creamy cheese with thick bacon pieces all sandwiched between two slices of ciabatta makes for a delicious Rustic Bacon Grilled Cheese.

Ingredients

4 slices bread from a ciabatta loaf
1 tbsp butter
4 slices deli white american cheese, cut in half
4 slices bacon, cooked and cut in half

Instructions

Heat pan to medium-low. Divide butter and apply evenly to one side of each slice of bread.

Since the ciabatta isn't a thick bread, cut each slice of cheese in half. Place two halves onto one slice of bread. Top with four halves bacon (or how ever many you need to cover the cheese -- I did two across and two down to make sure there was bacon in every bite) and place butter-side down on the heated pan. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.

Continue to cook until the bread becomes golden brown. Flip and repeat. Once both sides are a pretty golden brown the the cheese is melted, carefully remove from pan and serve.
