Description

A bold and satisfying grilled cheese sandwich layering sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, tender beef, and sweet apple drizzled with hot honey.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 slices cooked bacon
  • 2 slices thinly sliced beef
  • 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by grating the sharp cheddar, patting apple slices dry, and having cooked bacon and thinly sliced beef ready.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of two slices of sourdough bread.
  3. Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in the preheated skillet, and layer with grated cheddar, bacon, beef, apple slices, and drizzle hot honey over the apples.
  4. Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up, and press gently with a spatula.
  5. Cook until the bottom is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until cheese melts (another 2-4 minutes).
  6. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 1-2 minutes to set slightly, slice on the diagonal, and serve warm with an extra drizzle of hot honey if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, pre-grate the cheese and dry apple slices thoroughly. Let the sandwich rest after cooking to prevent molten cheese from spilling out.
