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.
