Sun Dried Tomato and Bacon Bagel Grilled Cheese

Servings: 2 sandwiches

• 1/4 cup mayo
• 1/4 cup basil, thinly sliced, divided
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• 2 everything bagels (or any other kind)
• 4 ounces mozzarella, sliced
• 1/8 cup sun dried tomatoes, juliened
• 4 pieces bacon, cooked
• 1/2 cup parmesan, shredded
• 2 tsp olive oil

1. In a small bowl, combine mayo and 1/8 cup thinly sliced basil. Season with salt and pepper, mixing to combine. Spread basil mayo on to the insides of both halves of each bagel.
2. Flip 2 of the bagel halves over and top each with 2 ounces sliced mozzarella, 1 tablespoon sun dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of sliced basil, and 2 pieces bacon (broken in half if needed). Top each with 1/4 cup freshly shredded parmesan.
3. Top with other bagel halves, placing the mayo side up.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bagels, pressing down lightly, and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden. Flip and cover with a large pan or pot. Continue cooking until the mozzarella is melted and bottom bagel halves are golden. Serve immediately.
