    This Havarti Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese takes traditional grilled cheese to the next level! With a secret ingredient, this is destined to be your new favorite lunch recipe!

    I think making a good grilled cheese is practically an art form. And I love, love, love trying new grilled cheese recipes! This Havarti Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese is most definitely a winner and one you'll want to put in your regular lunchtime rotation!

    Havarti Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese

    This is truly a gourmet grilled cheese recipe. Thick Hawaiian bread is layered with Havarti cheese, sliced Jazz apples, thick-cut bacon and my surprise secret ingredient, Blue Plate Mayonnaise. It's then grilled to perfection in a pan coated in butter until golden brown.

    Mayonnaise on Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    The Blue Plate mayonnaise is spread on the bread before layering the bacon, apples, and cheese.

    Did you know the secret to a perfect grilled cheese is to use mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside of the sandwich? It's true! Mayonnaise is less likely to burn than butter, giving you the perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time! 

    I use Blue Plate mayonnaise in this recipe because it was Voted #1 Mayonnaise by Epicurious. It is made from a simple, classic recipe using only oil, vinegar, and egg yolk whichh yields a rich, creamy mayonnaise I just can't get enough of! Good enough reason for me! It's the perfect complement to the rest of the flavors in this Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese.

    Havarti Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese Ingredients

    • thick white bread, I recommend Hawaiian sliced bread
    • thick-cut bacon
    • apples, I used Jazz
    • Blue Plate Mayonnaise
    • Havarti sliced cheese

    How to Make a Havarti Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese

    Spread both slices of bread with Blue Plate Mayonnaise. Layer bacon, apple, and cheese on one half and top with the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of the sandwich as well.

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place sandwich, mayonnaise side down and grill until golden brown and crispy. Add mayonnaise to the top of the sandwich and flip carefully to grill the other side. Serve immediately.

    I love this stepped-up gourmet grilled cheese recipe, and believe me when I tell you the Blue Plate mayonnaise makes the sandwich! You can Find recipes using Blue Plate Mayonnaise here and Find the product near you so you can make your own!
