This Delicious Blackberry Bacon Grilled Cheese is a flavorful twist on the classic sandwich, combining the smoky crunch of crispy bacon and the sweet tanginess of blackberry jam with gooey Swiss cheese and a hint of jalapeño spice, all grilled between buttery sourdough slices for a perfectly golden crust.

Ingredients

Sandwich

  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 pieces sourdough bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 pieces bacon, cooked
  • 1/2 jalapeño, sliced (for less spice, remove seeds)
  • 3 Tbsp. blackberry jam

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread evenly to ensure a golden and crispy exterior when grilled.
  2. Assemble the sandwich – cheese and bacon side: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a preheated skillet. Layer 4 slices of Swiss cheese evenly on top, then add the cooked bacon pieces and jalapeño slices over the cheese.
  3. Assemble the sandwich – jam side: On the second slice of bread, butter side up, spread 3 tablespoons of blackberry jam as a sweet contrast to the savory elements.
  4. Combine and grill: Place the jam-coated bread slice, buttered side up, on top of the bacon and cheese slice in the skillet, forming the sandwich.
  5. Grill the sandwich: Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on one side. Carefully flip the sandwich and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the Swiss cheese has melted to creamy perfection.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • For a milder spice, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before slicing.
  • Use good quality sourdough bread to enhance the flavor and texture.
  • Ensure bacon is cooked crispy to add a nice crunch to the sandwich.
  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve with a side of fresh salad or chips for a complete meal.
