Blackberry Bacon Grilled Cheese

With your ingredients prepped, follow these steps to assemble and cook your sandwich:

1. Butter and Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. This outer layer of butter is key to achieving that golden, crispy exterior.

2. Assembly: On one slice of bread (butter-side down), lay your slices of Swiss cheese, followed by the cooked bacon and jalapeño slices. On the other slice, spread a generous layer of blackberry jam (butter-side down as well).

3. Grilling: Heat a pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the pan, butter-side down. Grill until the bread is golden brown, then carefully flip to grill the other side. The goal is a crispy exterior with a melted, gooey center.

4. Melting Perfection: Cover the pan with a lid for a minute or two to ensure the cheese melts beautifully without burning the bread.
