Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 slices of good-quality crusty bread (preferably sourdough)
- Large handful of grated Cheddar (or Gruyère, or a mix of both)
- 2 heaped tbsp Bacon Jam with Red Onion Brandy (recipe here on Flaevor)
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over low to medium heat. (Alternatively, use a sandwich press or grill).
- In a bowl, gently combine the grated cheese with the bacon jam.
- Generously butter one side of each bread slice. Turn them over and spread the cheese and bacon jam mixture on the unbuttered side of one slice. Top with the second slice, buttered side facing out.
- Place the sandwich in the pan, buttered side down. Toast slowly until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side until the bread is crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
