- 4-6 slices cooked bacon
- 1 crisp apple, thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1-2 tbsp butter, softened
- Optional: honey mustard or Dijon for extra zing
Instructions
- Set your Panini Press on medium, or heat a skillet on the stove.

- On the unbuttered side, add cheddar, bacon, and apple slices. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.
- Place the sandwich in a panini press until golden and the cheese is melted (about 3–4 minutes). No press? Use a skillet and press with another heavy pan.
- Slice in half and watch that gooey cheese pull!
