Revisit the diner classic! Gooey melted cheddar cheese combines deliciously with juicy beefsteak tomato and turkey bacon in this lunchtime treat. Swap in other light shredded cheeses for the cheddar and add chopped fresh herbs for a little Dijon mustard to the cream cheese for a flavor twist. (Kids won’t even notice!)
