Cooking Live with Slashfood: Midnight Snack


This time around I decided to get ambitious with Midnight Snack, or as ambitious as I get when a case of the late-night munchies hits. Earlier in the week I'd purchased a nice hunk of Roquefort cheese, some Polish bacon and a loaf of hearty Russian bread, that, I kid you not, is named "Healing Rye Bread." I've been happily noshing on those all week. Today I grabbed a couple of Fuji apples at the market.

Now I'd love to say that I planned to combine these ingredients in advance, but that's simply not true. Hunger is the mother of invention: And in this case that invention is a savory little thing I like to call the BAC. No, not blood alcohol content, but bacon, apple and cheese. It's essentially a grown-up grilled cheese.


Charlemagne's favorite cheese and the humble apple wait to meet their pal Mr. Bacon. In retrospect, I may have been a bit heavy-handed with the cheese. But the combination of the salty Roquefort, meaty bacon and the sweet apples woke up my sleepy palate.

Ingredients:
  • 2 slices Russian rye or other whole-grain bread
  • 5-7 slices of bacon
  • Half an apple, Fuji or otherwise, sliced
  • 2-3 slices of Roquefort or other blue cheese
Recipe
  • Slice apple and cheese.
  • Place each on a respective slice of bread.
  • Cook and drain bacon.
  • Place bacon on top of cheese, layer apples on top, close sandwich.
  • Place sandwich in pan and cook until both sides are golden brown.
Note: If you must, drain the bacon grease before cooking the sandwich. This is a step that I decided to skip. After all, I used "Healing Rye Bread."

Offtopic, but the godiva g collection is 50% off! Other stuff is on sale too. But the g collection is seriously heaven in a box.
