Muenster, Apple, and Maple Bourbon Bacon Grilled Cheese

Muenster, Apple, and Maple Bourbon Bacon Grilled Cheese


  • Author: Lee Hersh
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the bacon:1 pound uncured bacon
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons Pure Canadian Maple Syrup
  • For the Grilled cheese 2 pieces of multi-grain bread
  • 2 pieces of muenster cheese, thinly sliced
  • 4 pieces of apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 piece of Maple Bourbon Bacon, cut in half
  • ½ tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. For the bacon:First, place bacon in a medium sized bowl. Then, pour in Pure Canadian Maple Syrup and bourbon. Toss to make sure everything is evenly coated. Let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  2. Next, heat a non-stick frying pan to medium/high heat. Then, place bacon strips on pan (I did four at a time). Cook for a few minutes or until you can see the edges turning golden brown. Use a fork to flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes, or until it reaches your desired texture.
  3. Place cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels. Pat with another paper towel on top to remove excess grease.
  4. To finish cooking the rest of the bacon, pour existing bacon grease from pan into a small container and wipe clean with paper towels. Note: There will be black residue from the bourbon and maple mixture, it should wipe clean with paper towel if you are using a nonstick pan. 
  1. For the Grilled cheese:Prepare your grilled cheese by lining a piece of multi-grain bread with thinly sliced muenster cheese. Then, add on the apple slices and bacon. Place 2nd piece of bread on top.
  2. Heat a nonstick pan to medium heat and rub with butter or coconut oil. Place sandwich on pan and cover. Let cook for about 3 minutes or until the bread begins to brown.
  3. Flip and cover again. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the bread begins to brown.
