Ingredients
- Leftover Cheddar Bacon Explosion
- 1 Loaf Low Carb Focaccia Bread
- 1 Tbsp. Butter
Instructions
- Slice off the piece of focaccia bread that you want. My serving was 1/9 (1 serving) of the original recipe.
- Slice this serving of focaccia bread in half.
- Your cheddar bacon explosion is probably cooled by now, so it is easy to cut.
- Slice off a relatively thick piece of your cheddar bacon explosion.
- Put one of your slices of focaccia bread over the bacon explosion so you can use this as a guide on how much to cut.
- Slice your cheddar bacon explosion so that one of the pieces fits on your bread. Try to cut it so that you will have an end piece that will fit on there also.
- Heat a pan to medium-high and wait for it to get hot. Once it does, add your slices of bacon explosion to the pan.
- Let the bacon explosion fry a little on one side, then flip it to get crisp on the second side.
- Remove the bacon explosion slices from the pan to cool.
- Butter the outside of your focaccia bread like you would a grilled cheese sandwich.
- In the same pan, add your focaccia bread to fry on one side.
- Once it’s browned, you can flip it over to toast on the other side for about 30-45 seconds.
- Remove the bread from the pan and assemble your sandwich.
- Add sauces of your choice, and serve! I used sugar free ketchup and brown mustard.
