Notes

Any leftover sandwich can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days! 
You can find the bacon cherry jam I used HERE. It is a little pricey but worth it! Feel free to shop around for a cheaper option, or even make your own! Bacon cherry jam is also great on burgers, pork chops, and roast chicken!
