EASY Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
For the Grilled Cheese:
Sourdough
cheddar cheese
unsalted butter
For the Bacon Jam:
(400g) bacon, chopped
1 ½ brown onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp of chilli ground hot
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ tsp black pepper
Fresh thyme leaves 2 sprigs worth stems removed
¼ cup water
Method:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
In the same pan, add the chopped onions and cook over medium heat until soft and golden brown (10–15 minutes). Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits.
Return the bacon to the pan and stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, black pepper, thyme, chilli powder and water.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and jam-like.
Spread a generous layer of bacon jam on four slices of bread.
Add grated cheddar on top of the bacon jam.
Top with another slice of bread.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
Toast the sandwiches until golden brown and crispy on both sides, ensuring the cheese is fully melted.
