  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain works well)
– 6 slices of cooked bacon

– 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
– 1-2 tablespoons hot honey (adjust for your spice preference)
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened


Instructions

Creating Hot Honey Apple Cheddar Bacon Grilled Cheese is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, ensuring that the bacon is cooked and crispy, and the apple is thinly sliced.
2. Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread generously.
3. Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the cheddar cheese, bacon, apple slices, and a drizzle of hot honey. Top with another slice of bread, butter side facing out.
4. Heat the Pan: Put a skillet on medium heat and allow it to warm up.
5. Grill the Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwiches in the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Flip and Grill: Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula, and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until evenly browned and the cheese has melted.
7. Check the Cheese: If the cheese isn’t completely melted, lower the heat and cover the skillet for a minute to help it along.
8. Slice and Serve: Once both sides are golden brown, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Slice them diagonally for presentation.

By following these simple instructions, you’ll have a delicious hot honey apple cheddar bacon grilled cheese sandwich ready to enjoy!
