Open Faced Bacon and Cheese Sandwich With Jalapeno Jelly

From Ladies' Home Journal magazine February 2006. I added the bell pepper and cilantro for color. The jalapeno pepper jelly was a jar I picked up at the farmers' market.

OK...so, my raging hormones said to forget the red pepper and cilantro because those ingredients didn't have enough fat, salt, or sugar content. But, the spicy sweetness of the jelly, the crispy smokiness of the bacon, and the sharp, beautiful flavor of white cheddar on my sandwich incredible. Yum. I can't wait to make this again.Reply
