Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and slice the tomatoes and jalapeño bread if not pre-sliced.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of jalapeño bread, layer the smoked turkey, pepper cheese, bacon, and sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Top with another slice of jalapeño bread. Heat the skillet again and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip and Finish

    Add the remaining butter to the skillet, flip the sandwich, and grill the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
