Sweet and Salty Grilled Cheese

There are two variations of this recipe. I think certain cheeses pair well with certain fruit so I have created two alternatives to a grilled cheese with fruit.

-8 slices French or Italian loaf bread, such as ciabatta 

-12 ounces of sharp cheddar or Gruyere, sliced

-About 12 slices of cooked bacon

-3 tablespoons of unsalted butter 

-About 12 thin slices green apple

-Dijon mustard

Heat a large skillet over medium flame.

Assemble sandwich. Spread mustard on the bread. Add cheese, 3 strips of bacon, apple, and another slice of cheese. Top with second bread slice. Butter the exposed side of the sandwich. Let it cook for a minute and flip with a spatula. The bread should be golden brown and the cheese melted.
