Ingredients

12 slices bacon (12 ounces)

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

8 slices sourdough bread

6 ounces sharp cheddar, sliced

1/2 small head escarole, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces

Preparation

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off and reserve all but 1 tablespoon fat. In a small bowl, combine mustard and honey and spread on bread. Divide cheese and bacon among bread to make 4 sandwiches.

Place skillet over medium; in batches, add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden and crisp and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through and adding more bacon fat as needed. Open sandwiches, add escarole, close, and serve immediately.
