Description
A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese, this sandwich features creamy Brie cheese and sweet apple slices, all nestled between cinnamon-sugar-kissed bread for a comforting, sweet-savory experience.
Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
-
4 slices thick white bread
-
1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
1 Honeycrisp apple (or apple variety of your choice), thinly sliced
-
4 oz Brie cheese, rind removed and thinly sliced
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
-
Spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
-
Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered sides of the bread.
-
Place the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
-
On two slices of bread, layer the thinly sliced Brie cheese.
-
Top the Brie with the thinly sliced apple slices.
-
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side up, to form sandwiches.
-
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
-
Grill the sandwiches for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove from heat, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding a drizzle of honey or a thin spread of fig jam inside the sandwich before grilling.
Using a sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp complements the cinnamon-sugar crust, but tart apples like Granny Smith can offer a delightful contrast.
Allow the Brie to come to room temperature before assembling the sandwich to ensure it melts evenly.
