Maple Sage Apple and Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
This Maple Sage Apple and Cheddar Grilled Cheese is easy enough to throw together for a quick meal, but also tasty enough to serve to guests.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter plus more to spread on bread
- 2 apple thinly sliced (I like Honeycrisp or Braeburn, small
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sage dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 8 lices Wheat bread Cobblestone Bread Co. Knead For Seed brand
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese shredded, sharp or smoked
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are golden and just beginning to brown on the edges. Drizzle the maple syrup over the apples and continue to cook 2-3 minutes more, continuing to stir, until the syrup has formed a light glaze on the apple slices. Stir in the sage, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
- Butter a slice of bread and place it buttered-side-down on a large preheated griddle on medium heat. Put ⅛ of the cheese on top, then layer with ¼ of the apples, and another ⅛ of the shredded cheese. Place another slice of bread over the filling and butter the top. Repeat to make 4 sandwiches. Cook the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes on each side (the length of time will depend on whether you're using an electric griddle or stovetop, so keep an eye on them!), then transfer to a cutting board, cut in half and serve.
