Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    While the bacon is cooking, spread the butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread (if using). This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread a generous amount of pimento cheese. Layer with crispy bacon and pickled jalapeños. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side up.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, place the assembled sandwiches. Cook over medium heat until the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down slightly with a spatula for even toasting.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet. Let sit for a minute before slicing in half. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
