Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (whole grain, sourdough, multigrain, or sandwich bread)
- 1 apple (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 4–6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
- 1–2 tsp Dijon mustard or honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup baby arugula or spinach (optional)
- Butter or olive oil for toasting (optional)
Instructions
- Lay out the bread slices. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or honey on one or both slices, if using.
- Layer the cheddar cheese, apple slices, and greens (if using) onto one slice of bread.
- Top with the second slice of bread to close the sandwich.
- To serve cold: Slice and serve immediately.
- To toast: Lightly butter the outer sides of the sandwich. Toast in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Use tart, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for contrast.
- Add deli turkey or ham for extra protein.
- Try nut butter for a sweet-and-savory twist.
- For make-ahead, layer cheese on both sides to prevent sogginess.
