Cheese and Apples and Bacon .... OH MY!!

A case of the sleeping sickness here for SkinnyBitch this morning - I am just now resurrecting myself from what seems like the dead at nearly 1pm SkinnyBitch time.  Phew.  Nothing like a “little” stress to increase the required allotment of Zzzz’s in my life!
But my late start will not deter me from a post or two today!  I am feeling a busy day in the interwebs world, and why not throw in a few posts to complete myself while mindlessly surfing the web! 
Considering that I awoke today to lunch-time, I feel like a lunch-time recipe is in order for the first post of the day – so here it is folks!
The SkinnyBitch’s Johnny Appleseed Sandwich
Ingredients –
2 slices of good (preferably, SkinnyBitch’s homemade French .. !!) bread
2 slices of baby Swiss cheese
2 slices of aged cheddar cheese
4-6 slices of apple
2 slices of crispy-cooked apple wood smoked bacon
1-2T apricot jelly (or orange marmalade, whatever sweet spread you have will work!)
1-2T butter, softened (salted if you please!)

Directions –

Spread both sides of your bread with the spread of your choice (I find that the flavor of the apricot jelly is ideal with the apples, bacon and cheesy goodness, but you are welcome to experiment with this!), take your cheese slices and alternate them on the bread – then top with your bacon and apple slices.  Place the other piece of bread on top of the cheesey-apple-porky delight and spread the top with butter.  Place butter-side down into a non-stick skillet and spread the top with more butter.  

Allow to cook like a typical grilled cheese (even though this is anything BUT your typical grilled cheese!) to your desired melty’ness and golden brown deliciousness. 

Serve cut in half to expose the oozy, cheesy lovely’ness that is soon to be yours for the taking!

Enjoy!

XOXO
