4slicesof sourdough or hearty whole-grain bread thick slices taste best
2teaspoonsolive oil
1ounceof briesoftened at room temperature
2ouncesof sharp cheddargrated, at room temperature
½sweet appleI use Gala, sliced into ¼-inch thick slices
Instructions
Heat a nonstick frying pan to medium high heat.
Lightly brush the olive onto each side of each slice of bread.
Toast one side of each slice of bread lightly in the frying pan.
Remove the bread, and spread the brie on the toasted sides of 2 pieces of bread. Top with the cheddar and 2-3 slices of apple. Top each with the second slice of bread - toasted side down.
Return the sandwiches to the pan, and lightly toast on each side.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Sharp cheddar won't melt as smoothly as processed cheese slices, so if you need it to melt a bit more, just pop the grilled sandwiches in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds.
