Gouda Honeycrisp Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese

This Gouda Honeycrisp Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese sandwiches crisp cooked bacon, sliced Honeycrisp apple, and mellow gouda cheese between buttered bread slices cooked to a golden brown. The sandwich balances the smoky, savory bacon with the juicy, tart-sweet apple and the creamy melted cheese, all held together in a crisp, buttery crust. It makes for a distinctively flavorful and texturally varied meal suitable for lunch or a casual dinner.

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook bacon according to package instructions. Pan-fry until crispy or bake on a foil-lined baking sheet in preheated 400-degree oven for 20 minutes. If you want the bacon to be extra-crispy, cook for 2 minutes longer. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Place 1 gouda cheese slice on bread. Top with apple slices. May drizzle with honey or fig jam, if so desired. Top with another slice of gouda cheese. Top with crispy bacon.
  3. Spread butter on both sides of bread.
  4. Cook on medium-low heat (or even low) until lightly golden brown on each side and the cheese is melted.
  5. Cut in half and eat immediately.
