Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Green Apples & Bacon

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Butter one side of each slice of the sourdough bread.

3. 3

   If using mustard, spread mustard on the interior side of one of the buttered slices of bread.

4. 4

   Place a cheese slice on the mustard, followed by apple slices and bacon.

5. 5

   Add another cheese slice on top of that, and close the sandwich with the other piece of buttered bread.

6. 6

   Grill the sandwich until crisp and browned on each side and until the cheese is melted (if your cheese is not melting, covering the sandwich with a lid can help, but turn down the heat so that the bread doesnt over-brown).

7. 7

   Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice on the bias, and serve promptly.

8. 8

   Notes: A panini press can also be used.

9. 9

   These sandwiches are terrific served with tomato soup.
