Instructions

Prep and cook bacon
1
  • Peel, then finely chop shallot.
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop chives.
  • Flatten each bun using a rolling pin or the palm of your hand.
  • Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast bacon in the middle of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
  • Transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate. When cool, cut bacon into 1-inch pieces.
Make tomato shallot jam
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 min.
  • Add tomatoes, vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 1 tsp sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and jam thickens, 4-5 min. (TIP: Use a fork to help break down tomatoes!). Stir in half the chives.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer tomato shallot jam to a small bowl, then carefully wipe the pan clean.
Assemble grilled cheese
3
  • Combine mayo and remaining chives in another small bowl.
  • Spread chive mayo over top buns.
  • Spread tomato shallot jam over bottom buns, then sprinkle with cheese. Top with bacon, then close with top buns.
  • Press down firmly on assembled sandwiches.
Cook grilled cheese and serve
4
  • Heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter and swirl to melt.
  • Add sandwiches and press down on each, using a spatula. Place another large, heavy-bottomed pan over top of sandwiches to cover. Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted, 3-4 min per side.
  • Halve sandwiches, then divide between plates.
