Description
This apple brie grilled cheese sandwich combines creamy brie, crisp apples, and a touch of honey on perfectly toasted bread for a sweet and savory twist on a classic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 8 ounces brie cheese, sliced
- 1 large apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Lay the bread slices on a work surface. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice.
- 2. Flip two slices over so the buttered side is down. Layer on the brie slices, apple slices, and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
- 3. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- 4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes.
- 5. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.
- 6. Remove from heat, let cool for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use a firm apple that holds up to heat. Serve with a side of mixed greens or tomato soup.
