Captain Patty Cluckers Grilled Cheese Melt

 

      If you love grilled cheese sandwiches and crave something different this, is it.  This is originally a recipe from the Food Channel Show Carnival Eats filmed at a fair in Virginia.  I made a few modifications to suit Barb and me.  It is a fusion of grilled cheese, BLT, and Patty Melt.  This is a sandwich to soothe even the most savage beast.  There are two ingredients I would insist on:  THICK CUT REAL CHEDDAR (such as Tillamook or Sargento) and good bread, cut large.  This recipe makes one sandwich.  

2 REAL thick cut cheddar cheese slices

1 Fried egg NOT over easy

Fried onions (to taste)

Fried bacon (2 slices)

Lawry’s Garlic Spread

2 slices toasted large bread 

      Toast bread and set on plate, spread with garlic spread.  Fry bacon in pan to crispy, set aside.  Fry as many onions as you like till caramelized (in the bacon grease) and set aside.  Fry your egg leaving some yolk, not over easy. 

Fried onions

Fried egg, somewhere between over easy and medium

      

      While frying the egg, top your bread with a slice of thick cut cheddar, onions, bacon, and then place the egg.  Top with final slice of cheddar.  Heat in hot skillet till browned both sides.  Melt that cheese.  Serve with soup or fries.
