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.

    This is one amazing sandwich. I made it with sourdough bread like you did on your broadcast. I roasted the onions in the cast iron pan I made the bacon in. I removed most of the bacon grease and added some olive oil...YUMMY !! Next time however, my husband and I have decided we will swap out the mayo for some peanut butter....Let me know what you think of that one Paula!!

    I had this sandwich at a posh hospital I was at through work, I loved it. I had to look up the recipe for the sandwich and sauce (red onion mayo. This was very easy to make, the prep was not bad especially considering I used my Henkel santoku knife to cut everything. I dont have a food processor so it took a little bit of time (3-5 min. The time it took only build up to the moment that I put it together and we tasted it. My wife was surprised at just how good it was, she was apprehensive but left the table very fulfilled. I though it was just as good as the posh hospital cafe I had been at, this will be done as appetizers for our next get together. Mild cheddar, center cut bacon, sourdough bread, red onion sauce, and butter= Wonderful.
