The bacon, apple and tarragon in this recipe go together so well. If you don’t have a panini maker or an indoor grill, you can easily pan-fry or broil these excellent sandwiches.—Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota
Ingredients:
12 thick-sliced bacon strips, cut in half
1 medium apple, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ginger ale
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup apple jelly
4 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
12 slices sourdough bread
6 slices havarti cheese
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. In a small bowl, toss apple with ginger ale and lemon juice; set aside.
2. Place jelly in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until softened. Stir in tarragon.
3. Spread jelly mixture over six bread slices. Top with cheese, apple and bacon. Spread mustard over remaining bread; place over bacon. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter.
4. Cook on a panini maker or indoor grill for 3-4 minutes or until bread is browned and cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.
