This loaf looks deceptively simple. But trust me, between fire roasting the jalapeños, frying the bacon, and figuring out how to shape our loaves with giant cubes of cheese that often tear the dough, this bread is a FEAT to produce. It's a good thing the flavor is a winner, because now you too can eat our labor of spicy, porky, cheesy love.
Try this:
Yeah, the obvious thing to do here is make a grilled cheese, but hear me out: caramelized cheddar grilled cheese with apple butter. Cut your sandwich slices, then spread apple butter on one side of each slice of bread. Fill it with your cheese of choice (I like to keep it spicy, so I use pepper jack), and put tons of butter on the outside. Press a little shredded cheddar cheese into the butter on one side of the sandwich, then place it cheese side down into a nonstick pan heated to medium with melted butter. Let it cook until the cheese has gotten crispy on the outside of the sandwich. Repeat with second side. Boom. Next level grilled cheese.
