A gourmet grilled cheese sandwich made with smoked gouda cheese, sweet crisp Honeycrisp apple slices, and crispy bacon all on sourdough bread. Since apples pair so well with gouda cheese, it was a no-brainer to add crisp sweet apples to this gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. I used honeycrisp apples for their juicy and sweet taste. It adds a touch of sweetness to complement the creaminess of the cheese. You may also use gala or fuji apples instead. A little tip: slice the apples thin and layer them. Drizzle on some honey or fig jam if you desire some extra sweetness.
