Tips:

  • Use high-quality bacon that is thick and evenly sliced. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too crispy.
  • Slice the apples thinly so that they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a complex flavor profile. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Brie are all good choices.
  • Season the sandwich with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat so that the bread has time to toast and the cheese has time to melt.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides.
