The Ultimate Grilled Cheese {4 Cheeses, Bacon & Leeks}

• 8 ounces colby cheese block Rumiano
• 8 ounces monterey jack cheese block Rumiano
• 8 ounces mozzarella block Rumiano
• 8 ounces cheddar block Rumiano Sharp
• 1 pound bacon all natural
• 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 4 leeks large, tough green tops discarded
• bread sourdough panini

1. Lets deal with the leeks first. Discard the tough green ends. Slice the leeks and place into a bowl of cold water. work the pieces a bit with your hands to remove any dirt. The dirt will fall to the bottom of the bowl and the leeks will float.
2. Drain and dry the leeks well on a paper towel.
3. In a large pan, cook off all the bacon until crisp and place onto a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
4. Leave that bacon grease in the pan and add the leeks and let them slowly soften and caramelize over low heat. Be patient, this goodness takes a little time. {Note: no need to salt these, there is plenty flavor in the bacon grease}
5. Once the leeks are softened go ahead and add the garlic and cook for a few more minutes.
6. Shred all the cheese and mix to combine.
7. Thats all, lets assemble now!
8. Spread some of the cheese onto a slice of the bread. Top with 2-3 slices of bacon and a good layer of the leeks. Top with more cheese and the other slice of bread.
9. Place onto a panini grill {on a frying pan is ok too} and cook until the bread is crisp and the cheese melted and oozing just a bit.
