CHEDDAR AND APPLE GRILLED CHEESE

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices thick-cut bacon
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 yellow onion, sliced thin
3 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
2 thick slices hearty multi-grain bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 ounces grated white Cheddar
1/2 Granny Smith apple, sliced
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Tear in half and set aside.
  • Into the same skillet, add the brown sugar, onions and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook, stirring as needed, until the onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Build the grilled cheese by spreading one piece of bread with the mayonnaise. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese on top, followed by the onions. Place the apple slices and bacon on top of the onions, then add the rest of the cheese. Spread the other slice of bread with the mustard and put it mustard-side down on top of the cheese. Spread the outside of the top bread slice with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Transfer the sandwich to the skillet over medium-low heat, butter-side down. Spread the top of the sandwich with the remaining tablespoon butter. Toast each side of the sandwich until golden on the outside and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut in half and serve.

TALEGGIO BACON AND APPLE GRILLED CHEESE

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds Taleggio cheese
12 slices bacon
8 slices rye bread
1/2 cup mayonnaise or 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 Honeycrisp apple, peeled and sliced really thin on a mandoline

Steps:

  • Toss the Taleggio in the freezer for 20 minutes to get it really nice and firm (don't forget about it!). Remove the orange rind and cut the cheese into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
  • While the cheese is in the freezer, cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium heat until brown and crispy on both sides, then transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels and reserve.
  • Spread each piece of bread with a thin, even layer of mayonnaise or butter. Spread the other side of each piece of bread with Dijon. Lay the bread down on a baking sheet with the Dijon side facing up. It will be a bit messy. This is what happens with grilled cheese! The mess is worth it.
  • Place an even layer of Taleggio on each piece of bread. Lay 3 bacon slices each on 4 pieces of the Taleggio-lined bread. Top the bacon with an even layer of apple slices (these are the bottoms, the ones with just cheese are the tops-together they make a pair!).
  • Preheat a griddle or nonstick saute pan to medium. You will most likely have to work in batches, so also preheat the oven to 200 degrees F to keep the finished sandwiches warm. Place pairs of tops and bottoms (not yet sandwiched together) on the griddle or in the nonstick pan and cook until the underside gets brown and crusty and the cheese begins to melt, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the tops onto the bottoms so the cheese is on the inside. Give each sandwich a press, flip it over, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Keep the finished sandwiches in the oven and repeat the process with the remaining tops and bottoms.

My mother taught me this recipe, and it has become one of my favorite quick meals. I find that Granny Smith apples work best, as well as a crunchy seed bread.

Time 15m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices whole wheat bread
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
½ Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
⅓ cup shredded Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with the olive oil. Place 1 slice of bread, olive oil side down into the skillet, and arrange the apple slices evenly over the top. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the apple, then top with the remaining slice of bread, olive oil-side up. Cook until the bread is golden brown, then flip the sandwich over, and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 more minutes.

There's nothing like a grilled-cheese-and-bacon sandwich. When you add slices of crisp apple and fresh-tasting sprouts to balance the richness, why, you have yourself a new instant classic.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices extra-sharp cheddar cheese
2 slices rye or sourdough bread
2 strips bacon, cooked
3 thin slices Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup assorted sprouts, such as radish or adzuki
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, divided

Steps:

  • Spread remaining butter on top of sandwich. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown, flipping once, about 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier bacon, cook it over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the apple slices more flavorful, toss them with a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon before grilling.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can grill the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down on it with a spatula to flatten it.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as French fries, onion rings, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This grilled bacon apple sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet apples, savory bacon, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new sandwich recipe, give this one a try.
