Thanks Bronwen - Grilled "Heaven" (I mean Cheese)

Jul 11, 2009

Ok, are you ready for this?

You're gonna need:
* a pound of bacon (trust me... do the whole pound)
* 2 slices of potato bread (for your sandwich.  More if you're cooking for a family)
* a lot of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese (buy a big-ass block and grate the whole thing in the food processor.)
* one very thinly sliced Granny smith apple (like paper-thin, right?)
* butter (duh!)
* grated parmesan (don't question me!  just do it!)

First, fry up the whole pound of bacon so it's nice and crispy.  No soggy bits.  You'll only need about 3-4 slices for your sandwich, but this is hungry business and you're gonna want a snack

Then, butter one side of each piece of bread and plop them butter-side-down in the parmesan cheese.  Pat it gently down so you get a bunch of cheese adhering to the buttered bread.

Next, as much as it pains you, dump out the bacon grease.  (ok, ok, you can pour it in a jar and save it, but you're not going to fry your sandwich in it... No.  No, you're not.  Stop it.  Pour it out!)

Slap a pat of butter into your pan - I'll let you determine just how big a pat is - and let it melt over medium-high heat.  Now, layer up one side of your sandwich.

On one of the slices of bread (on the non-cheesed side, please), put a goodly sized mound of cheddar and spread it out a bit, making a fluffy bed for the apple - one layer of very thin slices ought to do. 

Set some bacon on top of that apple - about 3-4 slices should suffice, unless you are, like me, a bacon freak.  Put another goodly-sized mound of cheddar on top of that and set it in your buttery pan.  Top it with the other slice of bread, parmesan side up.

Fry that baby until it's golden brown and crunchy on both sides and the cheese is gooey and melty.

Slice it in half, refuse to share, and enjoy it!!

(If you're not an apple lover, you can use thinly sliced tomato and red onion instead)
