Instructions
- Start by adding the prepared cheeses, spreads, greens, seasonings, and Jammy Onions to their own small bowls and place them in the center of a large, rectangular board.
- Add the bacon and the rest of the produce around the edge of the board, fanning them out around the bowls where possible. I like to arrange my toppings so that one side of the board is sweet and one side is savory to help guide guests!
- Serve the bread on the side and make sure there is a stick of salted butter around for cooking.
- To cook, spread a generous amount of butter on one side of each piece of bread. Place one slice, butter-side-down, on the pan or press over medium to medium-high heat, add the cheese(s), spread(s), and toppings, then add the other slice on top, butter-side-up. Allow the bottom slice to toast until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, then flip (carefully!) and toast the other slice until brown and the cheese is gooey.
