Instructions
Cook bacon on medium heat, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked and crispy, set aside on paper-towel-lined plate.
Discard most of the bacon grease, leaving a coating in the pan (about 1-2 teaspoons).
In a small bowl, use the back of a fork to cream basil into butter.
Butter outer sides of sourdough and assemble grilled cheese with Swiss, bacon, and Cheddar.
Cook grilled cheese over medium heat, flipping after 2-4 minutes when cheese is melty. Cook other side for 2-4 minutes more. Enjoy!
