1. Add sliders and immediately press down firmly with a grill press to smash. Cook until crispy brown at the edges, 4-5 minutes. Flip, and top ½ of the patties with swiss cheese. Add a tablespoon or two of bacon jam to each patty, and then stack a plain patty onto a swiss cheese patty and set aside. Toast buns briefly on the griddle and then stack your double smashburgers onto a bun. Enjoy!
Homemade Bacon Jam
1. In a medium pan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy/ Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a separate bowl. Drain all but 1-2Tbsp bacon fat from the pan and set aside/save for later use.
2. Add the onion and garlic. Sauté over medium-high heat for 3 minutes until fragrant. Add maple syrup, cider vinegar, black coffee, brown sugar, salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Stir. Return the diced bacon to the pan.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes. Stir occasionally. Jam is ready when the mixture thickens and resembles a loose but syrupy, chunky jam. Jam will thicken as it cools. Serve warm or room temperature.
