This Spicy Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe is a fun spin on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Especially if you like yours with a little kick.
This time around I am using slices of bread from my Homemade Bread Dough Recipe. Sure it's a lot more work but I needed to make some bread for another recipe I was working on so I figured why not?
🥓 How to Make Bacon
If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.
And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.
I cannot recommend any specific substitutes for the pepper jack cheese as this is the main ingredient for this recipe. It's also a very common type of cheese found in most grocery stores. If you must substitute I would recommend some Horseradish Cheddar Cheese or some Habanero Cheddar Cheese.
