The Ultimate Apple Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

  1. 2 large Apples, (cored and sliced (see notes))
  2. 2 tbsp Maple Syrup ((see notes))
  3. 1 tbsp Butter
  4. 1-2 sprigs of Fresh Thyme ((optional))
  5. 8 medium slices of Bread ((see notes))
  6. 8 rashers of Bacon
  7. 5oz / 150g grated Cheddar, (grated)
  8. 3.5oz / 100g Gorgonzola, (crumbled (or more Cheddar))
  9. Butter, (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Bacon: In a large non-stick pan over medium heat add 8 slices of bacon. Fry both sides until golden/crispy with the fat fully rendered down. Remove from pan, leave fat behind.
  2. Apples: Melt 1 tbsp butter into the pan then add the apple slices. Stir to coat and fry for around 5mins until they JUST begin to brown and soften slightly. Pour in 2 tbsp maple syrup along with your fresh thyme (optional). Lower the heat very slightly and stir to coat the apple. Gently fry until the apple is soft (but not breaking apart) and caramelized/sticky. Remove and wipe out the pan.
  3. Grilled Cheese: Butter one side of each of the slices of bread then flip half of them over. Top with grated cheddar, followed by 2 slices bacon, topped with caramelized apples and finish with gorgonzola (or more cheddar). Top with a second slice of bread butter-side-up.
  4. Fry: Add to a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry both sides until golden with the cheese just starting to leak out. You may need to do this in two batches. Serve up and enjoy!
