Apple Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A comforting and delicious sandwich that combines the creamy richness of melted brie cheese with the sweet crunch of fresh apples. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a delightful snack.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 slices slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 tablespoon butter (softened) For spreading on the bread
- 1/2 cup brie cheese (sliced or spreadable) For the cheesy filling
- 1 medium apple (thinly sliced; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Adds a sweet crunch
- 1 teaspoon honey Optional, for extra sweetness
- 1 pinch cinnamon Optional, for added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer your brie cheese generously.
- Layer on the thin apple slices, covering the cheese surface. Drizzle with honey if desired.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.
- Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan.
- Cook until the bread is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip and repeat until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing to prevent the cheese from spilling.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with other soft cheeses like camembert or goat cheese. A thicker crusty bread works best to hold the fillings.
