Time 25m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices thick-cut bacon
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 yellow onion, sliced thin
3 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
2 thick slices hearty multi-grain bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 ounces grated white Cheddar
1/2 Granny Smith apple, sliced
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard

Steps:

In an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Tear in half and set aside.
Into the same skillet, add the brown sugar, onions and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook, stirring as needed, until the onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Build the grilled cheese by spreading one piece of bread with the mayonnaise. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese on top, followed by the onions. Place the apple slices and bacon on top of the onions, then add the rest of the cheese. Spread the other slice of bread with the mustard and put it mustard-side down on top of the cheese. Spread the outside of the top bread slice with 1 tablespoon butter.
Transfer the sandwich to the skillet over medium-low heat, butter-side down. Spread the top of the sandwich with the remaining tablespoon butter. Toast each side of the sandwich until golden on the outside and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut in half and serve.

4 slices sourdough bread
6 slices sharp Cheddar, about 3 ounces
Half apple, cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Put 2 slices of bread on a cutting board or work surface. Top each with two slices of cheese, the apple slices, a third slice of cheese and another piece of bread. Press down lightly.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bread toasts and the cheese is slightly melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook until the other side is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the bread from burning before the cheese melts.?

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup stone-ground mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
8 slices raisin walnut bread
4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
8 slices sharp Cheddar
12 very thin slices Granny Smith apple
1/4 cup sweet cherry pepper relish
One 8-ounce wheel Brie, sliced into 8 slices

Steps:

For the dipping sauce: Add the mustard, honey and mayonnaise to a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
For the sandwiches: Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Coat one side of each bread slice with butter and place 2 pieces butter-side down in the skillet. Layer one piece of bread with 2 slices Cheddar and 3 slices apple. On the other piece of bread, spread 1 tablespoon pepper relish and add 2 slices Brie. Cover and let cook until the bread starts to brown and the cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the Cheddar piece of bread onto the Brie piece to create a sandwich, then cover again and let cook until the cheese is melting over the sides of the bread, another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the process until all the sandwiches are made. Serve with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
