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.
