Bacon Cheddar Naan Grilled Cheese

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Makes: 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 2 PC Naturally Smoked Bacon Rounds slices
• 2 tsp (10 ml) mayonnaise
• 2 Naan Rounds
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) PC Aged 5 Years Canadian Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• 10 fresh thyme leaves
• 4 thin slices Granny Smith apple (skin on)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Place bacon on the baking sheet. Bake in centre of oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until crispy. Meanwhile, warm a sandwich press to medium heat.
3. Spread 1 tsp (5 ml) of the mayonnaise on the inside of each naan round. Layer bacon, cheese, thyme and apple on one naan round; top with the other naan round. Cook in sandwich press for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese melts and bread is crisp.

Tip: If you do not have a sandwich press, use a pan heated to medium-high heat. Place the sandwich in the pan with a heavy dish or another pan on top. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until cheese melts and the bread is crisp.
