Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Havarti cheese, sliced
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil or additional butter for grilling
Instructions
Start by preparing the spiced apples. Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg over the apples, then drizzle with honey. Stir to coat the apples evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread using the remaining butter.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing one slice of Havarti cheese on the unbuttered side of a slice of bread. Add a layer of spiced apples on top of the cheese, followed by another slice of Havarti cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing outward. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add olive oil (or additional butter, if preferred) to the pan.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your rich and flavorful Grilled Havarti Sandwich with Spiced Apples!
