A cozy fall grilled cheese sandwich combining crispy Honey Crisp apples, creamy brie, and a subtle kick of Dijon mustard, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium Honey Crisp apple, thinly sliced (about 150g or 5.3 oz)
  • 4 ounces (115g) brie cheese, sliced or torn into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Honey, optional drizzle
  • Fresh thyme leaves, optional

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice one medium Honey Crisp apple into 1/8-inch (3mm) slices. Slice or tear 4 ounces of brie cheese into manageable pieces. Set aside.
  2. Spread about 1 teaspoon of softened unsalted butter on one side of each sourdough slice evenly. This will be the outside for grilling.
  3. On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread about 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Layer half the apple slices evenly, then add the brie pieces on top. If using, sprinkle a few fresh thyme leaves and drizzle a little honey over the apples.
  4. Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter side facing out.
  5. Warm a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even contact. Look for a deep golden-brown crust and melted cheese oozing slightly at the edges.
  7. If cheese isn’t fully melted after browning, lower heat and cover the skillet loosely with a lid for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve warm.

Notes

Pat apple slices dry before assembling to avoid soggy bread. Use medium-low heat to prevent burning the bread while allowing cheese to melt. Softened butter spreads evenly and prevents tearing the bread. Cover skillet briefly if cheese needs more melting.
