Grilled Pimento Cheese, Bacon and Pepper Jelly Sandwich

Lay out two pieces of bread on a work surface. On one piece of bread, spread a generous, but not ridiculous, amount of pimento cheese. Break the bacon into 4 pieces and place it on top of the pimento cheese. On the second piece of bread, spread a fairly thin coating of pepper jelly. Place the pepper jelly side of that piece of bread on top of the pimento cheese-bacon side of the other piece of bread.

Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. When surface of pan is hot, melt half of the butter in the center of the pan and place the sandwich right on top of the melted butter. Cook the sandwich until the first side of the bread is golden brown and crispy. Remove sandwich with a spatula and melt a little more butter in the pan. Carefully flip sandwich as you place it right on top of the melted butter. Continue to cook over medium heat until second side is golden brown and crispy.

Remove sandwich from heat, slice it in half and place on a plate. Eat it while it’s hot! And by the way, one sandwich could very possibly serve two people. It is a rich sandwich experience!
