Next, heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, buttered-side down. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches to help them cook evenly and ensure the cheese melts properly.
Once the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, remove them from the skillet. Let them cool for a minute before slicing in half to serve. This gives the cheese time to set slightly so it doesn’t ooze out too much when cut.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Triple Cheese Bacon Melt with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as tomato soup, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli. The gooey, cheesy filling and crispy bacon make this sandwich a satisfying meal on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or crispy fries for a complete meal.
Make-Ahead & Storage
This sandwich is best served fresh, but you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. Cook the bacon and shred the cheese, then assemble the sandwiches just before grilling. Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, place the sandwich in a skillet over low heat and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt without overcooking the bread.
