Quick Candied Bacon
- Begin by cooking the chopped bacon in a pot over medium, stirring consistently, for about 10-15 minutes or until the bacon begins to get crispy. Drain fat and add brown sugar, red wine vinegar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper and stir. Continuously stir until the mixture until liquid has reduced and the bacon has a thick, sticky coating. Set aside.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- Begin by boiling water. Add egg and cook for 7 minutes. Remove egg and shock in ice cold water. Peel, slice into coins, and set aside
- Add half of the muenster cheese to one slice of Artesano Bread. Add sautéed brussels sprouts, 7 minute egg, quick candied bacon (or bacon crumbles) and the rest of the cheese. Top with the remaining slice of Sara Lee Artesano bread and butter the exterior of the sandwich
- Grill the sandwich in either a panini press or a cast iron skillet over medium heat until both sides of the bread are golden brown and the cheese has melted; about 5-10 minutes. Let the sandwich rest for 30 seconds before serving
