Ingredients
- sliced sourdough bread
- shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- strips of crispy cooked bacon
- fresh minced thyme leaves, optional
- cored and thinly sliced apple (of your choice)
- salted butter, softened
Preparation
Step 1
1. Slather both sides of each slice of bread with butter.
2. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar onto a piece of sourdough and top with strips of bacon. Top the bacon with another generous sprinkle of cheese and a small amount of thyme, if using.
3. Top the cheese with a single layer of sliced apple and finish with a final sprinkle of cheese.
4. Top grilled cheese with another slice of sourdough and gently press the entire grilled cheese together.
5. Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt a couple tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, carefully place the grilled cheese into the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the bottom is nicely toasted and some of the cheese has melted. Flip the grilled cheese and continue to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the bottom is toasted and the remaining cheese has melted.
6. Transfer grilled cheese onto a cutting board. Allow the sandwich to sit for 3 to 5 minutes before cutting the half and serving.
