Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Candied Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon strips on the sheet, sprinkle generously with brown sugar, and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and caramelized. Remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jalapeno

    Slice the jalapeno in half lengthwise, remove seeds for less heat, and slice into thin rings.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    If using store-bought coleslaw, simply measure out 100 grams. If making homemade, mix shredded cabbage and carrots with a dressing of mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take one slice of Dutch crunch bread and layer 100 grams of pastrami, followed by 50 grams of candied bacon, one slice of pepperjack cheese, and a generous amount of coleslaw.

  2. 5

    Top and Add Heat

    Add sliced jalapenos on top of the coleslaw, and then drizzle or spread 50 grams of cheese whiz over the jalapenos.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the second slice of Dutch crunch bread. Press down gently to secure the layers.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serving Suggestion

    Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve with extra jalapenos and a side of chips or pickles, if desired.
