Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Apple, and Sprouts

By YogiRenee

Ingredients

• 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

Preparation

Step 1

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.

Directions

Place 1 slice of cheese on 1 slice of bread. Layer bacon, apple, sprouts, and remaining slices of cheese and bread on top.

Spread half the butter on top of sandwich. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, and place sandwich, butter side down, in skillet.
