Description
A delicious grilled cheese sandwich with cheddar, brie, and fresh apples.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough sandwich bread, 1/2 thick
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 5 slices apple, peeled, about 1/8 thick
- 1 oz brie cheese, cut into three slices
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Place the cheddar slices on one slice of bread. Top with the apple slices to cover the cheddar. Then place the brie on top to cover the apples and cheddar. Place the second slice of bread on top and press lightly with your hand. Spread half of the mayonnaise on top of the top bread layer.
- Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwich mayo-side down in the pan. Spread the rest of the mayo on top of the bread. Cover with a lid placed slightly offset so that it doesn’t close completely.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the cheese shows first signs of melting and the bottom is golden and toasted.
- Lightly squish the sandwich with a spatula so that the cheese adheres to the bread. Push a spatula underneath the sandwich and place a second spatula on top. Then press lightly together so that you have a good grip of the sandwich, turn over and place back in the pan.
- Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread golden and toasted to your liking.
- Serve immediately with cranberry sauce, salad, or your favorite condiments.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices or herbs to the mayonnaise.
- You can substitute the cheddar with your favorite cheese.
- Experiment with different types of apples to find your preferred sweetness.
