1

Season sliced tomatoes with sea salt and set aside.

2

Place bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook it in the oven at 425°F for about 8 minutes, or until desired crispness.

3

Remove the bacon from the oven and immediately brush it with Colavita Balsamic Glaze. Feel free to use as much as you like!

4

Spread mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread.

5

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place bread mayonnaise side down on the skillet.

6

Top the bread with gruyere cheese, tomatoes, and cooked and glazed bacon.

Cover the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes. This will allow the cheese to melt.
