- Decorate and put the sun-dried tomatoes and sliced avocado on the bacon. Now put the second slice of bread, the fried side on top of the avocado.
- Melt a little more butter in the pan and put the sandwich in the pan over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Move the bread around the pan so it can get golden brown as well. Turn and pan-fry the other side for another 5 minutes as well.

Easy Sandwich Recipe
Making no-knead bread takes you less than 5 minutes of work altogether. True you have to wait about 20 hours all in all but the actual time you have to do something is no more than 5 minutes.
No-knead bread is great fresh out of the oven with some butter or cheese but I love making a grilled cheese bacon sandwich.
Grilled Cheese Bacon Sandwich Suggestions
Want to customize your sandwich try these options:
- Fried egg – fry an egg on both sides before you put it on top of your avocado.
- Boiled egg – instead of a fried egg, boil an egg, slice it, and put it on top of your avocado.
- Smoked salmon – instead of bacon you can use thinly sliced smoked salmon.
- Turkey or chicken – Want a leaner and low-fat option use some slices of turkey or chicken.
