This Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe makes the best quick and easy lunch or dinner. Packed with bacon, two cheeses, honey and crisp apples, plus ready in under 30 minutes!
Combine thyme, rosemary and salt into a small bowl and set aside.
On one side of bread spread butter and sprinkle with dried herbs and spices. Repeat this on the other three slices of bread.
Flip all the slices of bread over and lay sliced mozzarella on one slice and Havarti on the other side. Repeat this for the second sandwich.
Place cooked bacon on top of mozzarella cheese. I use two slices per sandwich, but you could add more if you wish.
Slice half of a small apple into thin slices using a pairing knife or mandoline slicer. I like to try and get mine ⅛-1/4 of an inch thick. Place sliced apple in a single layer on the opposite slice of bread you put the bacon on.
Drizzle honey over top of the bacon and apples, and bring the two slices together forming your sandwich. Repeat with the second sandwich.
Add your prepared sandwiches to a greased warm skillet. I like to cook mine on low heat for 5 minutes then flip and cook an additional 5 minutes on low. For the last minute on each side I crank the heat up and cook each side just until the outside of each slice of bread is crispy. If your cheese is not melted after 10 minutes, slowly increase the heat and watch it until melted.
Once sandwiches are finished, remove from skillet, slice and serve with additional honey (optional) and enjoy!

Reheat in the oven until warm.Side Ideas: Some great side ideas for grilled cheese include some chips, a side salad, fruit, carrot sticks, celery, or some roasted vegetables.
