"But, similar to a burger with added bacon or even a BLT, adding slices of bacon to a sandwich can sometimes make it structurally unsound, the bacon causing things to slide around as you take each bite. Luckily, there's a way to incorporate that unique bacon flavor without the mess: Simply spread some bacon jam on your grilled cheese before grilling it."
"When you assemble a grilled cheese, simply spread a generous helping of bacon jam on the inside of one slice of bread, and then heat and toast the sandwich as you normally would. While you can always buy bacon jam, like this Midwest Fresh Award-Winning Bacon Jam, it's so easy to make your own at home with just a few ingredients."
Bacon jam offers the smoky, savory taste of bacon in a spreadable form suitable for grilled cheese. Spreading bacon jam inside one slice before toasting adds bacon flavor without the structural problems of whole bacon strips. Bacon jam combines chopped bacon cooked down with sugar and other ingredients to a jammy consistency that spreads easily. Bacon jam can be purchased or made at home from a few ingredients. Large batches can be frozen in airtight containers for up to six months or frozen flat in resealable bags for breaking off portions as needed.
