I can't wait to share "my favorite things" sandwich with you!! Do you have foods you can't resist? For me, it is bacon, brie, and cinnamon apples. (I have tons of cinnamon apple recipes on the blog!!)

It is a new year, and this is the year we are falling in love with all of the creative things you can do with gluten free bread. Making grilled cheese is one of our favorite ways to enjoy gluten free bread...but there are so many ways to use it!

I took all of my very favorite things: Franz Gluten Free Bread, brie, bacon, and cinnamon apples and combined them into a special gluten free sandwich to celebrate National Gluten Free Day!

Here are some fun ways to use gluten free bread to celebrate National Gluten Free Day: every recipe featuring Franz Gluten Free Breads:

  • Gluten Free Eggnog Bread Pudding
  • Roasted Acorn Squash Soup with Homemade Gluten Free Croutons
  • Gluten Free Vanilla Ricotta and Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

Franz Bakery makes an incredible gluten free seven-grain bread that has become one of our favorites! It contains healthy grains like brown rice, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, and sorghum.

Even better? It is refined sugar-free!! Just check out the seeds on the crust of the bread!! This bread is perfect for my "favorite foods" grilled cheese sandwich recipe!!

Shelf Stable Packaging

Franz recently updated their gluten free packaging. You will love the special way they package their bread. The loaf is sealed in special shelf-stable packaging, so you can buy this bread and store it in the pantry until you are ready to use it in recipes like this grilled brie sandwich!

Instructions:

Franz slices of gluten free bread

The first step is to take Franz Gluten Free Seven seven-grain bread and butter on one side of 6 pieces of bread. You can use butter or ghee for this.

cooked bacon on a paper towel

Cook your favorite bacon and set aside on a paper towel to remove the extra grease.

Let's make homemade cinnamon apples!

sliced apples

Slice your favorite type of apple. I used a combination of Granny Smith Apples and Fuji.

cooking cinnamon apple slices in a pan

Add 1 tablespoon butter to a pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 ½ cups sliced apple (about 2 large apples) and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Saute until the apples are soft.

Heat a pan on medium-low heat. Add the Franz gluten free bread butter side down. Add a layer of brie cheese.

bacon and apple layers added to grilled brie sandwich

Add a bacon layer, then a cinnamon apple layer. Cover with another piece of gluten free bread, butter side up so that when you flip it over, the buttery side will be against the pan.
