Ingredients
4 tablespoons fig jam
8 slices thick-cut brioche bread
4 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
8 slices cooked bacon
4 slices Gruyère
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
Directions
- Preheat a griddle or a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread the fig jam on four slices of bread. Top with the almonds, followed by 2 slices of bacon per sandwich, and a slice of each of the cheeses. Spread the butter on the outsides of the sandwiches, then sprinkle with salt.
- Griddle the sandwiches on the first side, 5 minutes, then flip, cover with a heatproof metal bowl and cook until golden and the cheese is melted and warmed through, about 5 minutes more.
