4 tsp whole grain mustard
8 oz. cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Over medium heat, heat a grill pan or large skillet.

Top the mustard with shredded cheese evenly split amongst the four sandwiches, crisped bacon, and apple slices. Top the sandwiches with remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.

Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
