Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Melt

My first attempt at this sandwich happened when we ran out of dinner ideas and had leftover cheese in the fridge. It disappeared in minutes, and the entire house still smells like a fancy grilled cheese shop whenever I make it.

Ingredients

Thick-cut brioche bread or Texas toast: for a plush yet crispy bite Stick with bakery bread for best texture
Sharp cheddar cheese: for tang and savory depth Opt for block cheese over pre-shredded for better melt
Monterey Jack cheese: brings creamy stretch and smooth flavor Freshly sliced works best
Provolone cheese or Velveeta: for mellow gooeyness Genuine provolone will give a mild nutty touch
Bacon strips: cooked until crispy use high-quality thick-cut bacon for bold flavor
Butter: provides that golden crust on each slice Use European style or full-fat for best results
Ranch dressing: homemade or store-bought adds creaminess Choose a good-quality ranch with real herbs
Sliced jalapeños: offer a spicy kick optional
Caramelized onions: supply extra flavor sweetness optional but fantastic for depth
