Cheddar, Bacon, and Apple with Mustard on Country Wheat Bread

Ingredients

• 4 large slices country wheat bread
• 2 tablespoons stone-ground or whole grain mustard
• 6 ounces grated Cheddar (such as aged Vermont Cheddar)
• 6 slices extra-thick bacon, cooked
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

1. 1. Spread each bread slice evenly with mustard. Arrange half of cheese and all of the bacon and apple slices on 2 bread slices. Top with remaining cheese and bread slices, and press together gently.
2. 2. Melt butter in large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches to pan, and cook, pressing down with back of spatula, 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until cheese melts and bread is golden brown.
