I’m starting this weekend out right with a warm up to National Maple Syrup Day with a taste recipe from Lee Hersh of Fit Foodie Find. You can’t go wrong bacon, maple syrup and cheese!
Ingredients
- For the Bacon:
- 1 pound uncured bacon
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Pure Canadian Maple Syrup
- For the Grilled Cheese:
- 2 pieces of multi-grain bread
- 2 pieces of muenster cheese, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces of apple, thinly sliced
- 1 piece of Maple Bourbon Bacon, cut in half
- ½ tablespoon butter
Instructions
- For the Bacon First, place bacon in medium-sized bowl. Then, pour in Pure Canadian Maple Syrup in bourbon. Toss to make sure everything is evenly coated. Let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Next, heat a non-stick frying pan to medium/high heat. Then, place bacon strips on pan. Cook for a few minutes or until you can see the edges turning golden brown. Use a fork to flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes, or until it reaches your desired texture.
- Place cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels. Pat with another paper towel on top to remove excess grease.
- To finish cooking the rest of the bacon, pour existing bacon grease from pan into a small container and wipe clean with paper towels.
- For the Grilled Cheese : Prepare your grilled cheese by lining a piece of multi-grain bread with thinly sliced muenster cheese. Then, add on the apple slices and bacon. Place 2nd piece of bread on top.
- Heat a nonstick pan to medium heat and rub with butter or coconut oil. Place sandwich on pan and cover. Let cook for about 3 minutes or until the bread begins to brown.
- Flip and cover again. Let cook for additional 2-3 minutes or until the bread begins to brown
