8 slices whole-grain bread
1/3 cup apricot jam, or strawberry jam if you prefer it sweeter
12 strips applewood-smoked bacon, cooked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

Preheat a panini press.
Spread the bread slices with the jam, all way to the edges. Lay 3 strips of bacon on 4 of the bread slices, breaking the strips as needed to fit the bread. Top with the remaining bread slices, jam-side down. Butter both sides of the sandwiches and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
Place the sandwiches on the panini press and cook until golden brown and the cheese is crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the sandwiches into 4 triangles and serve.
