Sweet & Savory Grilled Cheese
A surprising blend of crisp apple, creamy Brie, fresh thyme, and a hint of honey, all melted between golden slices of artisan bread for an unforgettable unconventional grilled cheese experience.
Ingredients
- 2 slices artisan bread (e.g.
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 2 oz Brie cheese sliced
- 0.5 medium apple thinly sliced (e.g.
- 0.5 tsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice generously.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer half the Brie, followed by apple slices, chopped thyme, and a drizzle of honey if using.
- Top with the remaining Brie and the second slice of bread (buttered side out).
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Remove from heat, let it rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
Notes
Use a good quality sourdough or challah bread for best results. A touch of Dijon mustard can elevate the savory notes if desired. Serve with a light salad for a complete meal or a cup of your favorite soup.
