Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough or whole-grain)
- 2 slices Cheese (sharp cheddar or gouda)
- 0.5 medium apple Apple (thinly sliced, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
1. Lay the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice.
2. Flip the bread over so the unbuttered side is facing up.
3. Place one slice of cheese on top of one bread slice (on the unbuttered side).
4. Layer the thin apple slices evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle a small pinch of cinnamon over the apples if desired.
5. Drizzle the honey over the apple slices.
6. Add the second slice of cheese on top of the apple and honey layer.
7. Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese with the buttered side facing outwards.
8. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, pressing gently with a spatula.
9. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has begun to melt.
10. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
11. Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
