Grilled Gouda, Bacon, Blackberry & Apple Jam, and Jalapeno Sandwich

What you'll need:

• 4 slices of French bread
• 8 ounces gouda cheese, thinly sliced
• 8 slices of cooked bacon
• 4 tablespoons Blackberry and Apple Preserves
• 2-3 pickled jalapeno slices per sandwich (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

How to make: 

1. Spread Blackberry and Apple Preserves evenly on two slices of bread. Layer slices of gouda cheese on top of the jam.
   
2. Place 2 slices of bacon on top of the gouda cheese on each sandwich. Add 2-3 pickled jalapeno slices on top of the bacon.
   
3. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches. Spread softened butter on the outsides of each sandwich.
   
4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches onto the skillet. Grill each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
   
5. Once both sides are grilled to perfection and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them cool before slicing, then serve hot.
