A yummy twist on a classic!

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Bacon
  • 2 teaspoons Salted Butter
  • 2 slices Whole Grain Bread
  • 2 slices Gouda Or Havarti (or Sub About 1/2 Cup Shredded For The 2 Slices)
  • 8 whole Sweet Cherries, Halved And Pitted
  • 2 Tablespoons Basil, Chiffonade

Preparation

1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-6 minutes, flipping once.
2. Place cooked bacon slices on a piece of paper towel to soak up grease.
3. Heat half of the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
4. Build the sandwich starting with a slice of whole grain bread. Add 1 slice of cheese, the cherries, the basil and the bacon, then add another slice of cheese. Add the top piece of bread.
5. Place sandwich in the hot skillet and cook until golden on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes, pushing down to compress the sandwich.
6. Flip, adding more butter to the pan if needed, and cook until the other side is golden and cheese is melted, about 3-5 more minutes.
