directions

  • Spray a non-stick skillet with plenty of non-stick spray and place the cheese in a single layer in the center.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat.
  • When the cheese bubbles and is crunchy and hard on the bottom, flip to the other side.
  • Note: do not try to flip the cheese before the bottom is totally solid or you will wind up with a goopy mess.
  • Once both sides of the cheese are crunchy, assemble the sandwich with the lettuce, tomato, and "bacon" (cheese), and the mayo spread over the bread.
  • Enjoy!

  1. LOVED this! What a fun & simple sandwich. The cheese does get crispy and since it is salty it does taste like bacon (sort of)! At first the cheese just seems to melt and be an ooey gooey mess, but give it time and watch it carefully. Once it is hard on the bottom it is time to flip before it burns. I really liked this as a change of pace from regular BLTs and frying the cheese was no harder than frying up bacon!
     
  2. Amazing! I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years. I wish I had known about this a long time ago. Love the crunch it adds. Who knew. Next time I'll try smoked provolone to see how that is.
     
  3. Delicious and fun! I followed the recipe and then at the end brushed a tiny bit of liquid smoke on the cheese. It was just like a blt. Thanks for sharing this total keeper recipe!
     
  4. Okay, I love this fried cheese idea. And I love that I can eat my vegetarian BLT while the rest of my family has the "real thing." This was crispy and good. Thanks
     
  5. These are wonderful! Can't go wrong with fried cheese!

I've lived in Tucson for about five years now, and the experience has been great for my palate! For those of you that don't know, Tucson is a culinary Mecca; tons of amazing flavors, foods, and restaurants to investigate. The above photo is a picture of my husband and I on our wedding day. He's the light of my life, and the main reason I'm glad I moved out here to the desert because I never would have met him if I hadn't!! To top it off, he's a great eater. It doesn't matter what I make, even if he doesn't like it he tells me between bites. (haha!) He loves my obsession with the Zaar because he's been eating really well since I started with the site. We recently bought our first house which is a starter home that we are working very hard on remodeling. Anyone with free advice for newbie homeowners lemme know because it has been a whirlwind!! I am currently a full time employee at the UofA (GO WILDCATS!) and I love my job and the people that I work with. I am also a part time student seeking a Masters degree in Administration. I can't wait to be finished so that I can relax for a little while, cook, work on my house, and play with my two beautiful children who are pictured below (yes I'm aware that they are dogs, but they are OUR kids!!) The one on the left is our little blue heeler mix that we call Rumplestiltzkin (Bumpy for short) and the one on the left is the sweetest Chow Retriever Mix you'll ever meet. His name is Gaizen. The picture of the two dippy looking people on Segways is one of my husband and I in Disney World this last October. We were soooo lucky to beable to go on the segway tour it was loads of fun! The cutie patutie right beside us is my little niece Rylee who I don't get to see nearly enough since my sister live in Ohio. She's couldn't be sweeter if you spread icing on her. The picture of the cake is one that I made for my DH's 27th birthday because he loves fish tanks. Anyone that wants the ingredients and how to build it lemme know it's really easy!! My Rating System: 5 stars-RUN don't walk to your grocery store, buy the ingredients and make this! 4 stars-Great recipe and I want to try it again but would probably make changes to it 3 stars-Pretty good recipe that I liked but probably will only make occasionally I don't like to give less than three stars because everyone is different and has different taste buds. I also will not give a recipe less than four stars if I myself made changes to the recipe and then didn't like the way it turned out. If I screw a recipe up entirely (I have been known to do this especially with baked goods) I don't bother even rating it. The one thing that is really hard to say here at the Zaar is "I will definitly make this again" not because soooo many recipes that I have tried are not worthy of making again, but because there are so many more out there that I haven't tried yet! Every time I think of repeating one of my favorites I find myself on here about to look it up, and then finding something just as interesting, unique, and delicious sounding that I just have to try!! <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/511934835_9dc466e9a4_o.gif"> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2615117960101094834lSUnIG"><img src="http://inlinethumb44.webshots.com/3371/2615117960101094834S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="100_0499"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2169702170101094834MvnIXR"><img src="http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/4704/2169702170101094834S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="segways"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2370200530101094834irjqOJ"><img src="http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/2607/2370200530101094834S200x200Q85.jpg" alt="rylee"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2499141710101094834tsCHNl"><img src="http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/4485/2499141710101094834S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="dan's cake"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/tlonghorn/banners/BBQ2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
