It's the Cheesiest!

[Fusion_power]

You made sourdough bread the night before, sliced and toasted it just for the occasion. The bacon is cooked, crisp just like you like it, the kitchen smells like BACON. The lettuce is crunchy and the Brandywine tomato is perfectly ripe, juicy, lightly salted. You have 3 ears of sweet corn fresh from the garden for dessert.

But you have Cheddar, Swiss, Jarlsberg, and (your choice) cheese to choose from, which do you grab a chunk of and why?

A Health slice of Cheddar Jack!

I do not want to overpower the other wonderful favors... So Creamy Havarti or Provolone, but a mild Cheddar could work. Sharp Cheddar is a fave, but might be too strong. Jarlsberg... maybe. I do not really like Swiss.

I would choose the Provolone for being chewy without being overpowering in flavor.

But using no cheese would work as well.

Very true. I usually don't bother with either cheese or bacon. Tomato and lettuce is great. Of course that wasn't an option to his question.

[Redbaron]

Since it is hot toasted bread and hot bacon......then Swiss. Otherwise cheddar.

[ddsack]

I go with the Swiss too, don't want to overpower the tomato and bacon.

Buffalo mozzarella...or to answer your specific question cheddar that isn't too old

Locally made smoked gouda. Yum!

I like the recommendations so far. Jarlsberg would be a good choice as well, because I think it has no taste and would not compete with the tomato.

I do it two ways:

First, with bacon, lettuce & tomato and No cheese.
Second, (quick for breakfast), buttered and toasted bread, big slice of tomato, salt & pepper, and a slice of sharp or extra sharp cheddar. Broil for a couple of minutes.

But, can't go wrong with any of the cheeses.

Sourdough, bacon, brandywine... heaven, I might have to leave out the cheese for that one, or go for a havarti.

BUT one of my fave sandwiches is tomato and cheese - old white cheddar is the one I generally have around due to optimal combination of good taste and price. For this sandwich I make two thin layers of cheese with sliced tomato (salted and peppered) the layer in between. Each outside of the sandwich is then fried to a golden crisp in a skillet on the stove. We used to butter the outside of the sandwich and do it that way, but nowadays I just use olive oil. No place for lettuce only on the side, but bacon wouldn't hurt.

For an amazing full slice tomato and yummy sourdough bread, I'd go with open faced sandwich as I've done with Cherokee Purple, sprinkled with parmesan and toasted under the broiler. Okay, the house smells like BACON, pile it on top..
Thanks a lot Dar, I'm starving now, and I'm out of cheese... and bacon.. and sourdough... and fresh tomatoes .

Thin slice of Jarlsburg...just enough to know it's there, but not enough to take away the spotlight from that gorgeous Brandywine

I would do as my ancestors did and how I grew up eating -- eat the sandwich (minus the cheese), enjoy the corn, cut myself another piece of bread to go with a chunk of cheese (since it's sourdough bread I would go with the cheddar or something even stronger like Parmesan), then follow that up with a bit of fresh fruit. This would all be washed down with a glass or two of wine.

If you absolutely must put cheese on the BLT, then I agree with the others who recommend a mild and soft variety.

Whatever you decide, enjoy!

Avocado, but, if it were cheese, I would go for Graskaas (a spring time made dutch gouda)! So mild, so creamy, so delicious! My favorite mild cheese.
