Yay for Friday! What does everyone have planned for the weekend? We’ve got some fun stuff going on….flag football tonight, pumpkin patch and pony rides tomorrow, girls night in with friends Saturday night and Sea World for some Spooktacular fun on Sunday! Oh and of course a Gator game tomorrow night! I love this time of year.
This little creation was inspired yet again by Facebook. I swear, I get so many ideas from Facebook friends … most of whom I have not actually seen in person for almost 15 years! Facebook is a lot of fun that way!
These little open faced sammies are incredibly easy to whip up and snack on while watching a game on TV (or not) while drinking a yummy fall beverage such as one of my favorites Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale…well at least that’s how we enjoyed them! I took a major shortcut by picking up some precooked Boar Head bacon that I found in the deli section. I like bacon, though I’m not a huge fan of the grease it produces while cooking. These precooked strips were really good (I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised!) and cooked up in a minute in the microwave! Of course, if you are up for frying up some bacon yourself…please do so.
Bacon, Apple, Cheddar Sammies
Recipe from Aggie’s Kitchen, inspired by an old friend
(printable recipe)
loaf crusty whole grain bread from the bakery, sliced medium-thin
good sliced cheese – I used Boars Head Vermont yellow cheddar
cooked bacon slices
Granny Smith apple, sliced thin
On slice of bread, layer bacon and cheese and place under broiler till cheese melts and browns up a bit. Top with thin slices of apple. Cut into appropriate size for serving and enjoy!!

Heck, I could just dig into that for breakfast. Bread, cheese, bacon, fruit…pretty well balanced if you ask me!
Sounds like you have a great weekend planned!!!! I love pumpkin beer! I need to pick some up from WFs. What a great snacky. I bet it’d be awesome with pears too. This weekend I am teaching, attending a friends birthday party, and watching football! Other than that ??

This looks fabulous and so does that stuffed Acorn Squash!! Great new look you have for your blog
Looks great! That looks like such a simple tasty snack. I would be tempted to broil it after putting the apple on to get the apple to caramelize a bit.
Oh Aggie – what a wonderful, creative and delicious snack.
Yum, bacon and cheese on bread with the sweet crunch of that apple. Can’t go wrong with that. What a great appetizer!
What a great combo of flavors and who can resist melted cheese? Yum!
This does look interesting. Simple but probably really tasty!
Wow, love your new place! I love game day food and adding something so simple as an apple really puts your sandwich over the top!
