Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Apple

    Core and slice the green apple into thin slices.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Panini

    On one slice of sourdough bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of pepper jelly. Layer with bacon, apple slices, cheddar, Swiss, and mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of sourdough bread.

  4. 4

    Toast the Panini

    Heat a Panini press or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich on the press and close it, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a grill pan, press down gently with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the Panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve immediately while hot.
