Ingredients
Sandwich
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 pieces sourdough bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 pieces bacon, cooked
- 1/2 jalapeno, sliced (for less spice, remove seeds)
- 3 Tbsp. blackberry jam
Instructions
- Butter the bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread to ensure a crispy golden crust when grilled.
- Prepare the sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, into a preheated skillet over medium heat.
- Add toppings: Layer the bread in the skillet with Swiss cheese, cooked bacon slices, and jalapeño slices evenly on top.
- Apply jam: On the other slice of bread, spread the blackberry jam on the unbuttered side.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the jam-covered bread on top of the bacon and cheese slice, with the buttered side facing outward.
- Grill the sandwich: Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip the sandwich and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
Notes
- For a milder spice, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before slicing.
- Use cooked bacon to save time and ensure crispiness without overcooking the sandwich.
- Adjust the amount of blackberry jam to balance the sweetness to your preference.
- Use a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan for best grilling results.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
