Ingredients

• 2 slices sourdough bread (thick slices)
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons jalapeno jelly
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 3

While the bacon cooks, lightly toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

Spread 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter onto each slice of toasted sourdough bread.

Step 5

Spread 1 tablespoon of jalapeno jelly evenly onto each slice of bread, over the buttered surface.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each slice of bread.

Step 7

Place the slices of bread onto a baking sheet. Place the sheet under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted and bubbly. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully place 2 slices of crispy bacon on top of the melted cheese for each sandwich.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Open Faced Bacon and Cheese Sandwich with Jalapeno Jelly!
