Serves 4 474 kcal per serving Prep 20 min Cook 30 min

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tbs Chopped Onion
  • 1/2 tbs Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 8 slices Bread
  • 8 slices Bacon
  • 8 slices Tomato
  • 4 slices Mozzarella
  • 2 1/2 Tbs Butter

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped onion, dried oregano, and salt. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly over four slices of bread. Layer each with bacon, tomato slices, and mozzarella cheese, then top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt most of the butter. Add the sandwiches and cook until lightly browned on one side.
  4. Carefully flip the sandwiches and continue cooking, adding the remaining butter if needed, until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Remove from the pan and serve hot.

Tips

  • Use cold, leftover lasagna so the layers stay intact and don’t slide out of the bread.
  • Butter the outside of the bread and grill it slowly to ensure the lasagna filling gets hot all the way through.
  • Choose a sturdy bread like sourdough or thick white ‘Texas Toast’ to support the weight of the lasagna.

Variations

  • Extra Cheese: Add a slice of mozzarella or provolone on either side of the lasagna slice before grilling.
  • Garlic Bread Sandwich: Use garlic butter on the outside of the bread for a classic flavor pairing.

Storage

These are best eaten fresh. If needed, wrap in foil and keep in the fridge for 1 day, then reheat in a dry pan.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
  • Pair with a simple arugula salad to cut through the heavy carb-on-carb richness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just a grilled cheese with lasagna?

Essentially, yes! It’s a creative way to transform a slice of leftover lasagna into a portable, crispy meal.

Can I use fresh lasagna?

It is difficult with fresh, hot lasagna as it is too soft. Cold, set lasagna is much easier to handle.

What's the best way to reheat the center?

Cook on medium-low heat and cover the pan with a lid for the first 2 minutes to trap heat and melt the center.
