We can all rely on a grilled cheese sandwich to be an easy stand-in for a meal. Short on time? Grilled cheese. Not sure what to make for dinner? Grilled cheese. Forgot to thaw the chicken? Grilled cheese! While a simple grilled cheese sandwich is delicious on its own, adding an apple offers crunch and sweetness to make it extraordinary.
Apple, Bacon, and Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tsp. honey mustard, plus additional for serving (optional)
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 1 Envy apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 3/4 oz. Brie cheese, sliced
Instructions
Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Lay out two slices of bread, buttered sides down. Top with honey mustard, then layer with two bacon slices, apple slices, and brie cheese slices. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides up, to create two sandwiches.
Heat a grill pan or skillet and cook sandwiches until golden brown on each side and cheese begins to bubble.
Cut sandwiches in half and serve with a side salad or extra honey mustard, if desired.
