I love sweet sandwich, such as fruit sandwich or adding ice cream or whipped cream to my sandwich. But for my husband, he needs something salty and meaty. To make both of us happy, I created this recipe. It was a big experiment but worked very well thanks to bacon! When I made this for the first time, I didn't cook the sandwich but realized that heating the sandwich (grilled sandwich) tastes much better. After a couple of times of experiments, I could create very tasty and creative sandwich!
