GRILLED CHEDDAR AND APPLE BUTTER SANDWICH



Grilled Cheddar and Apple Butter Sandwich image

This is an adopted recipe that I found to be a nice twist on the traditional grilled cheese. The original chef's comments are as follows: "For some reason, I put a jar of apple butter in my grocery cart today (childhood nostalgia?)...I can't imagine I'm the only one in the world to come up with this, but I dreamt it up today, and I didn't see it on Zaar...so here it is! My 13-month-old daughter ate it right up and literally screamed for more! I used mild Tillamook cheddar cheese, but I think a sharp white cheddar would be amazing, too. Take care to toast it *s l o w l y* neglected (burnt) grilled sandwiches that are "scraped off" and presented scraped-side-down on the plate, are a dirty trick IMHO."

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices challah, loaf, not braided, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
2 slices mild cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon apple butter
2 teaspoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • The sandwich is assembled in a cold, non stick skillet.
  • Butter one side of first slice of bread and place butter-side-down in skillet.
  • Place one slice of cheese on bread, then 1 Tablespoon apple butter in the center of the cheese.
  • Top apple butter with second slice of cheese.
  • Butter one side of second piece of bread and place butter-side-up on last slice of cheese.
  • Turn on heat to medium/low heat.
  • Toast each side*s l o w l y* and carefully to achieve a gooey inside and toasty-golden outside.
  • Eat and repeat!

Tips:

  • For a crispy grilled cheese sandwich, use a combination of butter and mayonnaise on the outside of the bread. The butter will brown and crisp, while the mayonnaise will help to seal in the cheese and prevent it from leaking out.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar will give the sandwich a more intense flavor, while a milder cheddar will be more kid-friendly.
  • Thinly slice the apples so that they cook evenly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the apples.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to weigh the sandwiches down with a heavy object, such as a cast iron skillet, to help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides, such as tomato soup, chips, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Cheddar and apple grilled cheese sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of sharp cheddar cheese, sweet apples, and crispy bread is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a grilled cheese sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying.
