8. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
9. Remove briefly, sprinkle remaining 2 ounces of Swiss cheese and reserved 1 tablespoon bacon on top.
10. Return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts and browns slightly.

Notes
Leftover slices freeze well for up to 3 months. Wrap individually in foil or store in airtight containers.
Reheat in the microwave with a splash of beef broth or in the oven covered with foil to maintain moisture.
Optional: garnish with fresh parsley or drizzle light tomato glaze for extra flavor.
