Bacon and Apple Grilled Cheese
There’s something about comfort food. For me there’s a few that remind me of my mom. One of those foods is a grilled cheese sandwich. We probably ate them way too much when I was little. I’m not sure if that’s because we asked her or it was easy. It was possibly a bit of both.
When I went away to college I ate a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches as well. That had to do with cost though. It was that and ramen noodles. Once I graduated and got a job I kind of forgot about grilled cheese. Every once in awhile I get a craving for one though and the other day I decided to make a more “grown up” grilled cheese.
It was so easy and I may or may not have had another one for dinner and then again for lunch and dinner the next day. Don’t judge.
I started with buttered bread, then added cheese. Please, use real cheese like from a deli. It makes a difference. Next add cooked pieces of bacon, then thinly sliced apples, then another piece of cheese. Then top it with another buttered piece of bread. I always cook my grilled cheese on medium. It takes a little longer but by the time the bread browns the cheese is super melty and that makes an awesome grilled cheese.
The result is sweet and salty, ooey gooey, and delicious. I really did eat it for lunch and dinner two days straight. It’s become a favorite.
Enjoy!
Wow…I’ve never seen these ingredients put together…I’m trying this!
It’s awesome!
Hey I would try this! I think it sounds fantastic!
Oh my gosh, my two favorite things, sweet and salty. I bet my family would love these too. This is such a perfect time of the year to make them to.
Thank you for sharing. I make one with Fontina, herbed cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach and tomato. I use rye or other premium bread, I love kicked up grilled cheese.
Do you have a preferennce for a type of bread? Would a whole grain wheat be to much?
I’m gluten free to I use Udi’s. I like the Udi’s white bread when I make this. I don’t see why you couldn’t try it though 🙂
Wow I am getting really hungry just looking at this picture. It sounds like a great combination of foods and I bet it taste great.
This sounds awesome, I have to try this!
This looks and sounds amazing. And also a little addictive 🙂
