Bacon Onion Jam Grilled Cheese

A couple of weeks ago, I made a batch of Bacon Onion Jam.  It was the one of the greatest condiments that I have ever had.  I love it so much, that I put it on everything.  During one of my tests I put it on a grilled cheese sandwich.  After a little testing with various cheeses and breads, I discovered the perfect combination.  It was the most delicious grilled cheese that I had ever had.  You have to check it out!

Bacon Onion Jam Grilled Cheese

The first you need to make or acquire some bacon onion jam.

I have had some good commercial bacon jams, but nothing beats the homemade stuff.  You can make it using my Bacon Onion Jam Recipe.

Next you need to butter 1 side of a thick slice bread.  I like to use thick sliced Texas toast.  I find that it is soft but yet holds up to frying on a flat top.  I like to use either whipped butter or vegetable spread.  That way you don’t rip up the bread.  I find that I get a better browning of the bread when I use the vegetable spread.

Next preheat your griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or preheat a large pan on the stove over medium heat.

Once the griddle is heated.  Place a slice butter side down onto the griddle.  Then add 2 tablespoons of shredded sharp cheddar and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.  Top with 3 tablespoons of Bacon Onion Jam.

Finally top with 2 more tablespoons of sharp cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.

Add another piece of buttered bread butter side up.

Grill for 2-3 minutes or until it is nicely browned.  Flip and then grill for another 2-3 minutes or until the bread is nicely browned and the cheese is melted.

Remove and serve.

This was one of most delicious grilled cheeses that I have ever made.  The salty sweetness from the bacon onion jam perfectly complimented the creamy fatty deliciousness of the cheese.  It is the perfect combination.
