To make sandwiches: 

Butter the outsides of each slice of bread and lay butter side down on a piece of parchment paper or a cutting mat.  Spread bourbon peach preserves over each slice of bread; top one slice of bread with the pecans, bacon and cheese.  Sprinkle Applewood Smoked Sea Salt over the cheese and bacon.  Top with remaining bread preserve side down.  Toast on a hot griddle or sauté pan for 2-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
