the ultimate grilled cheese.

my first official blog on the website! for those of you who were wondering, yes, i do exist. :)

now that i am home for Thanksgiving and have a little time (as well as all of the ingredients for a meal + a full kitchen), i decided to make my big debut. and, to live up to my "bio" on here written by Aimee, i decided to make an American staple: grilled cheese.


but not just any grilled cheese, the Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich. :)


Ingredients: (to make 4)

-8 pieces of bread (white is best for grilled cheese)

-8 slices of cheddar cheese

-2 tart apples

-8 slices of bacon

-butter

Directions:

-preheat oven to 400 degrees

-put bacon on a cookie sheet and cook for 20 minutes in the OVEN, turning once. (cooking it this way is much less messy!)

-meanwhile, thinly slice apples (do not peel)

-blot bacon on paper towels when cooked to get rid of excess oil

-melt butter on skillet, and butter one side of each slice of bread

-place bread, cheese, bacon, and apples on skillet

-add another piece cheese and buttered bread on top when you're ready to flip!

-and when they are cooked to a crisp golden brown, voila! finished.
