Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a panini press or large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, wash and core the Granny Smith apple. Thinly slice it into rounds or half-moons, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 4
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Spread honey mustard on the opposite side of each slice.
Step 5
Assemble each panini by layering 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 2 strips of cooked bacon, a layer of apple slices, and another slice of cheddar cheese on the mustard side of the bread. Top with another slice of bread, butter side facing out.
Step 6
Place the assembled sandwiches in the panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down on the sandwich with a heavy pan or spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Slice the panini in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
