Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 120 grams Cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, shredded or sliced)
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or preferred variety)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Core and slice the apple into thin, even pieces. Set aside.
Lay the bread slices flat on a cutting board. Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese on two of the slices. Arrange a layer of apple slices on top of the cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich into 3 strips so they resemble ‘dippers’.
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, swirling to coat the surface.
Place the sandwich strips in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second batch of strips, adding more butter as needed.
Remove from heat and let the dippers cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally pairing with honey for dipping to add a touch of sweetness.
