    Grilled Pimento Cheese, Apple & Bacon Sandwiches

     

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Fire up your griddles, broilers and skillets, my friends, and get ready for this Grilled Pimento Cheese, Apple & Bacon Sandwich to knock your socks off!  Everybody knows a good grilled cheese is hard to beat.  That warm, soft, melted cheese, the crisp toasted bread…  It goes with just about anything- soup, chili– but is the perfect quick and easy comfort food just all by itself.  Just cheese and a little bread and butter is all you need.  But sometimes.  Sometimes, you hit upon a combo with all the extras, and a good grilled cheese becomes a really good grilled cheese.  So good, in fact, you just have to share it.  

     


    What You Need To Make Grilled Pimento Cheese, Apple & Bacon Sandwiches

    • sourdough bread
    • butter
    • cheddar cheese
    • cream cheese
    • mayonnaise
    • pimentos
    • green apples
    • thick sliced bacon
    • garlic powder
    • onion powder
    • salt & pepper

    Let’s talk pimento cheese for a second.  There are a hundred different recipes out there.  Every family has their own way to enjoy it.  In my family, our way to enjoy it is all the time.  Seriously.  I have to keep 2 tubs stocked in the fridge at all times.  One of the regular recipe and one with diced fresh jalapenos added (that’s The Engineer’s pimento cheese of choice).  It’s perfect for a quick sandwich on crackers when you just need a quick nibble.  Or on a dang grilled cheese!  And why not? If plain ol’ cheese is good then the official cheese of the South is even better!

    Then you have the cheese and apples combo.  A little salty.  A little sweet.  Cheddar and apples have been a thing forever.

    And let’s not count out the bacon.  I am still one of those folks who are hanging on to “a little bacon makes everything better.”  A good thing never goes out of style, right?  Thick sliced, center cut bacon is always my bacon of choice.  And a couple of slices on this grilled cheese sandwich send it right over the top.

    Is this recipe a little bit extra?  Yes.  Yes, it is.  But by golly, extra is downright good any day of the week.  I’m not even ashamed to say it.

    Ingredients

    • 8 slices bread
    • 12 slices bacon
    • 4 slices red and green apples
    • 2 C sharp cheddar cheese grated
    • 4 oz cream cheese
    • 2/3 C mayonnaise
    • 4 oz diced pimentos with liquid
    • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/4 tsp onion powder
    • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
    • salt to taste
    • butter

    Instructions

    • Cook bacon and set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, mix together cheeses, mayonnaise, pimentos with liquid, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper.
    • Heat up griddle or skillet on the stove top to a medium-low heat.
    • Butter one side of each slice of bread.
    • Place one slice of bread in skillet, butter side down.  Spoon pimento cheese on top.  Let cook until cheese begins to melt and bottom of bread turns golden brown.
    • Top with 3 bacon slices and 1 apple slice.  Add second slice of bread, buttered side up.
    • Using a spatula, gently turn sandwich over.  Brown second piece of bread to a golden brown and let cheese continue to melt.
    • Remove from skillet and serve.

    Notes

    Grilled cheese sandwiches cook best on slowly on low heat.  This lets the cheese melt without over toasting the bread.
