2 On 2 of the bread slices, place 1 slice provolone cheese, 3 slices bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese on each. Top with remaining bread slices.

4 Melt butter on hot griddle. Place sandwiches on griddle. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

I feel awful giving a...what we shall call, an unkind review. This tasted like nothing but a couple pieces of french toast with cheese and bacon between them - syrup might have helped but not much. It sounded so different I just had to try it - won't make it again.

Made these but also thought it strange to dip the hole sandwich in the batter so we just dipped and made it like french toast then melted the cheese on top and then added sandwich fixings on it. Tasted amazing the first time when we used a med/darker beer the second time we used a Corona or Bud Light can't remember which but, it was light and it didn't have very much flavor. We added pastrami, pickles, pepper jack cheese, spicy brown mustard what ever sounded good we didn't really follow the recipe after we got the batter made but, it all tasted really good
