Preparation

• Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crisp. transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Pour off the drippings and reserve. Wipe out the skillet.
• Spread 2 slices of the bread with 1 Tbs. each of the preserves, and top with the bacon and cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread. Return 1-1/2 Tbs. of the bacon drippings to the pan, and set over medium heat. Arrange the sandwiches in the skillet.
• Cook until the bottom slices of bread are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip, add another 1 to 1-1/2 Tbs. of drippings to the pan, and cook until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes. Slice in half, and serve.
