# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 slices thick-cut hearty bread

200 grams sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

100 grams fresh raspberries
06 -
2 tablespoons raspberry jam
07 -
0.5 teaspoon dried chipotle chilli powder
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Cook bacon slices in a skillet or oven until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

In a bowl, mash fresh raspberries with raspberry jam and chipotle chilli powder until well mixed.
03 -
Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
04 -
Place half of the bread slices buttered side down. Layer with cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and a spoonful of raspberry chipotle filling. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast sandwiches on both sides until bread is golden and cheese is melted, about 3–4 minutes per side.
06 -
Remove sandwiches from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, use day-old bread and shred cheese for even melting.
