Bacon Swiss Grilled Cheese
Bacon Swiss Grilled Cheese
Who doesn’t love a grilled cheese?! But this just isn’t any grilled cheese. Sweet, savory, salty, and spicy; all into one beast. This monster of a sandwich contains black forest bacon, swiss cheese, charred jalapeños, and blueberry preserves, griddled on sourdough bread. The secret to getting the cheese to melt on this size of a sandwich is to cook it on medium low heat with a cover over the pan.
Ingredients
- 4 strips thick cut bacon I like black forest bacon
- 2 slices sourdough
- 3 slices swiss cheese
- 1 jalapeño pepper sliced
- 2 tbsp blueberry preserves
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crispy. Reserve 1 tbsp of bacon grease.
- Sauté the jalapeños in the bacon grease until charred; about 3 minutes.
Sandwich Assembly
- Spread the blueberry preserves on each slice of sourdough.
- Lay 1 1/2 slices of swiss on each slice of sourdough. Layer the bacon on one side; the jalapeños on the other. Put the sandwich together.
- Melt 1 tbsp of butter on a skillet or griddle over medium low heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet. Cover. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Add the other tbsp of butter. Flip the sandwich. Cover and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
