Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

    room temperature

  • 6 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons good-quality mayonnaise
  • Chipotle en adobo sauce or chipotle purée
  • 3 ounces Jack cheese

    or mozzarella, thinly sliced

  • 6 slices cooked bacon
  • Slow-roasted tomatoes

    storebought or homemade

Instructions
 

  • Spread the butter on the one side of each slice of bread. Mix together some of the chipotle en adobo sauce (start with just a teeny bit) and mayo and taste. Add more chipotle for more heat.
  • Assemble a sandwich: Spread mayo mixture on the unbuttered side of one piece of bread then layer a quarter of the cheese, half the bacon, a spoonful of the tomatoes and the remaining cheese. Close and repeat with the second and third sandwiches. 
  • Heat a large cast iron pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan, and cook undisturbed until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the second side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
