Grilled Pimento Cheese & Bacon with Pepper Jelly image

After one bite of this grilled cheese, it was all I thought about the rest of the afternoon. Pimento cheese is a favorite for this southern gal, and I love using it as a basis for a grilled cheese. It's so creamy and melts nicely. You get a bit more sweet and spicy from the pepper jelly. Bacon adds a smoky finish, and we all know...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slice sourdough bread
2 tsp butter
1 Tbsp pepper jelly
1/4 c butter,melted
1/4 c pimento cheese
3 slice crisp thick cut bacon

Steps:

  • 1. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Grill over medium heat until golden brown and crisp. Remove from heat.
  • 2. Brush the opposite side with melted butter and spread pepper jelly on the grilled side of one slice.
  • 3. Then, divide the pimento cheese in half and spread on the grilled side of each slice. Place the freshly buttered, ungrilled side of each slice on the griddle/frying pan. Allow to grill.
  • 4. As cheese melts, the jelly side will get loose. Place 3 slices of crisp cooked bacon on the diagonal of one side.
  • 5. Flip the other cheese side to cover the bacon.
  • 6. Remove sandwich from the griddle/frying pan to a cutting board. Allow to rest for a minute. Cut sandwich on the opposite diagonal from the bacon. Serve with extra pepper jelly for dipping.
