Grilled Cheese

Method

Grilled Cheese

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the Broadbent smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread a thin layer of Black Cherry Jam on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Layer 3 oz of Gruyère cheese on the non-jam side of 2 slices of sourdough bread. Add the crispy bacon on top of the cheese and then top with another 3 oz of Gruyère cheese. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, jam side facing out.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a little butter or oil if desired. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Home Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and chop the Russet potatoes into small cubes.

  2. 6

    Cook the Home Fries

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Season the Home Fries

    Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
