I’m pretty sure at this point in our relationship we both understand I love cheese. When I was a little kid I used to always shrug off cheese as if it were nothing of great importance. Then I grew up and realized what a foolish kid I was. Who shrugs off cheese? Who doesn’t want to bask in all it’s cheesy goodness?
Luckily as an adult I realize my child ways were in fact, childish, and I’m now on the path to cheese heaven.
Now, this grilled cheese is not just your run-of-the-mill grilled cheese. This grilled cheese is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. That’s right – breakfast. It’s packed full of Jones Dairy Farm Canadian bacon, fresh tomato slices, arugula and melty cheddar cheese.
Instead of using butter for the outside of the bread I used mayonnaise. It was a little trick my grandmother taught me and it tastes ahhhhhhmazing! I know that not everyone out there is a mayo lover but I still highly recommend it. Plus it’s a nice little nod to the classic BLT.

Oh I totally want this for breakfast.
I am a big fan of the mayo approach to grilled cheese (although my husband pretty much has to leave the kitchen when he sees me “buttering” the grilled cheese bread with mayo!). Love the spicy arugula addition to the other yums in this sandwich. 🙂
Now that is a grilled cheese sandwich I can definitely love!!
This is a must try for me. I will be heading to Ontario soon enough and bringing a suitcase full of pea meal bacon 🙂
Might be one of the most gorgeous sandwiches I ever saw! YUM!!!
This is exactly what I want for lunch today – YUMMY!
hello lover! I cannot wait to dig in – and I am totally going to try the mayo trick
As a Canadian, I could never bring myself to like our bacon. My dad LOVES the stuff. My daughter had the opportunity to try it and turned her nose up at it, lol. Maybe she needs to try it on this grilled cheese instead!
I’ve always loved cheese but just within the past 3 or 4 years have I really started to love good cheese! I’m so in love with the colors in this blt, yes, I’m a total sucker for color! I wish I could reach in and grab one of these!!
I haven’t had Canadian bacon in ages! This grilled cheese really has me craving it, though (and I’ve never craved it before so that means something ;))
