Ham and Cheese Sandwich

A savory and sweet griddled sandwich served on thick sliced white toast, filled with ham, bacon, Swiss cheese and chipotle cream cheese, and topped with sweet & spicy jalapeño jelly.

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and chipotle sauce until well combined. Set aside.

Prepare the Chipotle Cream Cheese

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

Cook the Bacon

Spread the chipotle cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the ham, crispy bacon, and Swiss cheese. Top with the other slices of bread, cream cheese side down.

Assemble the Sandwich

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the assembled sandwiches and grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Griddle the Sandwich

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with a dollop of sweet & spicy jalapeño jelly on the side.
