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
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
Instructions
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.
- 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.
- Place cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels. Pat with another paper towel on top to remove excess grease.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- Flip and cover again. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the bread begins to brown.
