The Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Melt is a decadent and satisfying grilled sandwich featuring three types of melty cheese, crispy bacon, and tangy ranch dressing, all layered between thick brioche or Texas toast. Enhanced with optional jalapeños, caramelized onions, and fresh tomatoes, this sandwich delivers a perfect balance of sharpness, creaminess, smokiness, and a touch of spice. Cooked on the stovetop until golden brown and gooey, it’s an ideal comfort food that comes together quickly in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Butter

  • 8 slices thick brioche or Texas toast
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter

Cheese

  • 6 oz sharp cheddar, sliced
  • 4 oz Monterey Jack, sliced
  • 4 oz provolone (or Velveeta for extra creaminess)

Meat & Dressing

  • 8 strips cooked bacon
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing

Optional Toppings

  • To taste jalapeño slices
  • To taste caramelized onions
  • To taste fresh tomato slices

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Cook bacon until crispy in a skillet or oven, then drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Prepare any optional toppings such as slicing jalapeños, caramelizing onions, and slicing fresh tomatoes.
  2. Butter the Bread: Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface and spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice. This will ensure a crispy, golden exterior when grilled.
  3. Layer the Cheese and Fillings: On the unbuttered side of four bread slices, layer the sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and provolone evenly. Add two strips of cooked bacon on top of the cheese. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing over the bacon. Then, add any optional toppings such as jalapeño slices, caramelized onions, or fresh tomato slices as desired.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the remaining four bread slices on top of the assembled layers, buttered side facing outward to ensure even browning when cooking.
  5. Cook the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet—cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press gently with a spatula occasionally to promote even browning and cheese melting.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use sturdy breads like brioche or Texas toast to hold the fillings without becoming soggy.
  • If you prefer extra creaminess, substitute provolone with Velveeta cheese.
  • Cooking on medium-low heat helps melt the cheese thoroughly without burning the bread.
  • Feel free to customize with additional toppings such as pickles or spinach for extra flavor.
  • To save time, bacon can be cooked ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
