Tuscany Grilled Cheese

This is a grown-up version of a classic comfort food. Serve it for breakfast or brunch with a fruit salad. Toss some chips and a pickle with it on a lunch plate. Even better, for supper toss a salad, make a bowl of hot minestrone, light some candles, and break out a bottle of red wine.

• Ready In: 6 mins

Ingredients

• 2  slices  multi-  grain bread (Italian or sourdough would be tasty, also)
• 2  teaspoons olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1  tablespoon  chopped sun-dried tomato
• 1  tablespoon black olives, chopped
• 1  slice bacon, crisp and crumbled
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  italian seasoning (I suggest Tuscan Italian Blend Seasoning or a purchased Tuscan seasoning blend)

Directions

1. Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon on the oiled sides of the bread. Lay one piece oiled side down in a skillet on medium heat. Sprinkle on cheese, bacon, tomatoes,olives,and the rest of the Tuscan Italian seasoning blend. Top with the other slice of bread. Brown on both sides until toasty and the cheese has melted.
