Grilled Apple, Bacon and Cheddar Sandwich with Roasted Red Onion Mayo

Recipes courtesy Paula Deen, 2007

Ingredients

Sandwich:

2 slices (1/2-inch-thick) sourdough, multigrain or another hearty bread
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp
4 slices Cheddar
1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored, sliced thin
Roasted Red Onion Mayo, recipe follows
Butter

Preheat a seasoned grill pan or griddle over medium heat. Assemble this sandwich just as you would a traditional grilled cheese sandwich: spread 1 slice of bread with some Red Onion Mayo, then top with 2 slices Cheddar, the bacon, the apple slices, then 2 more slices of Cheddar, finishing with another mayo-slathered slice of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread and transfer to the hot grill. Grill about 3 minutes per side, since this sandwich is so thick. Remove to a cutting board and cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal to serve.

Roasted Red Onion Mayo:

1 medium red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 cup mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the red onion, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion is very soft, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer to a food processor and buzz until finely chopped. Add the mayo and pulse until smooth and combined.

delicious and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I loved this sandwich! The mayo I made the day before - and it is so good on other things too! The only... change I made is to only use 2 slices of cheese per sandwich. My new favorite sandwich! Read more

ABC (apple,bacon,cheddar) sandwich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sandwich has been dubbed the "ABC" sandwich in our house. It is SOOOO good and so easy to make. I didn't have any... sourdough or onion in the house the first time I made this sandwich, so I didn't use any obviously. Didn't matter- I used thick smokehouse style bacon and finely shredded cheese with gala apples. Lovely flavor and thumbs up from all around. Thanks Paula!Read more

Nice Change of Pace
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

THis was a wonderful surprise. I didn't expect them to be as great as they were! The taste was excellent and it still had... the classic taste of grilled cheese. I will make this again and again and again!Read more

Nice Change
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I just made this sandwhich, and I was a little suprised! I put two slices of sharp cheddar cheese, and that was too much!... Next time, I will only add one. I just can't take all that cheese! I will also slice the apples MUCH thinner next time...something about eating an apple on a sandwich that kind of makes it seem less appetizing to me. Once I finally ate it though, I thought I would defintely make this again. Always good to change your normal grilled cheese up!Read more

Love, Love, Love this sandwich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw her make this sandwich the other day and thought I had to make it myself. The combination of the salty, smokey bacon,... with the tartness from the apple is amazing. The roasted red onion mayo really sets it off. I will be making this sandwich many more times to come.Read more

One less ingredient?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Rather than butter the bread the way Paula does, I like to toast the bread in the bacon fat instead. Tastes great and beats... waiting for the butter to come to room temp to spread.Read more
