Apple, Bacon, and Cheddar Panini

2 tablespoons butter, or to taste

3 slices bread

¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

4 slices cooked bacon

¼ apple, peeled and sliced thinly

Preheat a panini press.

Butter 2 of the bread slices. Place 1 slice on the panini press, buttered-side-down. Arrange Cheddar cheese on the bread; lay unbuttered bread on top. Place bacon and apple on top; cover with the remaining slice of bread, buttered side-up. Close the press and cook until panini is browned, about 4 minutes.
