Remember when I made this bourbon peach jam and mentioned that I had some ideas for what to do with it? This is one of them. And oh. My. Gah. You guys. This sandwich. Each component of it is a decadent treat unto itself. But when they're combined, very, very good things happen. Buttery bread grilled to crispy perfection, gooey melted cheese oozing over the edges, salty, spicy pepper bacon, and sweet spiked jam--if loving this is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
