Do you have any unusual sandwich combinations you love? One of my favorites is bacon and crunchy peanut butter on toast. Mmmmmmm! I know it's weird, but my brother's best friend when we were kids used to make it when he came over, and I have loved it ever since. Anyway, now that you're disgusted, here's my other weird sandwich love - grilled cheese with bacon and Granny Smith apples. I saw this version on television once {Real Simple, maybe?}, and was hooked. It's delicious, and doesn't need to take the backseat to soup. I love making this when we have leftover bacon {I know, I know, who actually has leftover bacon?}.
Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Granny Smith Apples
Ingredients:
Cheddar cheese, your favorite sharpness {shredded is best, but we had some smoked cheddar slices {yum}, so I used those}
Bacon {two slices per sandwich}
Granny Smith apple, sliced thinly
Bread {I made Handsome Hero's with whole wheat, and mine as a wrap}
Directions:
This is a grilled cheese sandwich. Do you need directions? The only helpful advice I have is to keep your heat at medium and put some of your cheese on the top and bottom, so that it sticks together better. It's a bit tricky to turn otherwise.
It's a great blend of flavors, if a little strange. Is anyone out there going to try this concoction? What about bacon and peanut butter? Anyone have a favorite oddball sandwich?
I've used bacon before in a grilled cheese sandwich. Very yummy! But instead of using butter to grill the bread, I used the left over bacon grease. Sooo good! But I would usually only have one sandwich because it packs on enough calories. Now though, I have to have gluten free bread. I tried the sandwich with brown rice bread and it still tasted good. The granny smith apples was a good touch! Very creative! And healthy. :)
ReplyDeleteI love apples and cheese together. This would probably be super yummy with brie too!
ReplyDeleteBrian likes peanut butter and mustard sandwiches... I tried it once and it was surprisingly good!
