Start with some interesting buns. I love the Sausage Cheese Rolls for this, particularly in a long, thin shape. Think of the dimensions of a French Dip Sandwich.
Slice the sausage cheese roll lengthwise, and toast lightly (I use a toaster oven, as my rolls are too big for the toaster).
Cover one side in mayonnaise, the other in spicy brown mustard.
For each sandwich's filling:
2 strips of fresh bacon, cooked and drained
4 thin slices of apple *
2 slices of mild cheese . Mild cheddar is good. Gouda is gooder.
I put the cheese on one side and broil it for a couple of minutes to soften the cheddar. Gouda probably doesn't need that.
Assemble the sandwich. Serve with potato salad or fresh fruit. A good medium-bodied ale would go well with this.
* For the apple slices: core a whole apple. Peel the apple. Slice thin (1/8") so each slice has a hole in the center. I prefer Gala for this, but I've just discovered the new Jazz apple. That's an amazing apple, and would be glorious in this sandwich!
