My favorite Grilled Cheese sandwich

Grilled cheese may be one of the words most famous sandwiches. Children and grown ups of all ages go crazy for hot and gooey melted cheese in between two slices of perfectly grilled bread. Thickly sliced bacon compliment the tart Granny Smith apple in a way only your taste buds can describe to and extra sharp cheddar cheese only adds to the depth of flavors. In between slices of fresh ciabatta bread, this is my ultimate grilled cheese sandwich

Recipe yeilds 1 sandwich 

3 slices of thick cut bacon (fried until slightly crisp)
6 slices of Granny Smith apple
Extra sharp cheddar cheese
2 slices of bread (ciabatta or sourdough work best)
Softened butter

Start by placing a layer on cheese on the inside of a slice of bread. Next lay the sliced apples down in an even layer and place the slices of bacon over top. Add the remaining cheese and place another lose of bread over top.

Butter the outside of the bread and place the sandwich on either a preheated panini press or a frying pan. Cook the sandwich on each side until the bread is toasted golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Remove from the heat and enjoy hot.

    1. Flip the sandwich quickly with a spatula that is large enough to to fit most if not all the sandwich on it's surface.

  5. The tartness of the apple compliments the salty cheese and bacon perfectly. Well done!
