GRILLED SWISS CHEESE WITH APPLES & SPINACH (AND BACON)

A fresh variation to the classic grilled cheese. Swiss cheese, apple slices, and spinach atop multigrain bread grilled to perfection makes a sweet, savory, and crisp sandwich for lunch. Adding bacon or turkey bacon would be a good addition, if you have some on hand.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup spinach 
  • 1-2 tbsp butter
  • 4 slices bacon or turkey bacon, halved (optional)

Preparation 

  1. Melt butter in pan over medium heat
  2. Meanwhile, stack sandwiches: slice of bread, slice of cheese, apple slices, spinach, (bacon,) slice of cheese, slice of bread
  3. Once butter is melted, place sandwiches on pan and cook on each side until cheese is melted and bread has browned

Serves 2.
