A quick and delicious 15-minute Brie and Apple Grilled Cheese sandwich combining creamy brie, sweet honey, and crisp green apple on buttery sourdough bread, perfect for a comforting snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • ¼ ounce brie cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ large green apple
  • 1 handful fresh rosemary for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Butter Bread: Generously spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, then flip the slices so the buttered sides are facing down.
  2. Brie: Remove the rind from the brie cheese and spread it evenly across the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.
  3. Honey: Drizzle and spread honey uniformly over the brie layer.
  4. Apple: Core the green apple and thinly slice half of it, then lay the slices evenly on top of the honey-covered brie.
  5. Sandwich Assembly: Place the second slice of bread on top, ensuring the buttered side is facing up.
  6. Fry Sandwich: Heat a frying pan with a lid over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown.
  7. Flip: Remove the lid, carefully flip the sandwich, replace the lid, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Slice the sandwich in half, garnish with fresh rosemary if desired, and serve hot for best flavor.

Notes

  • Remove the rind from the brie for a smoother melt and better texture.
  • Use a lid while grilling to help the cheese melt evenly and prevent burning.
  • Replace green apple with another crisp apple variety if preferred.
  • Butter the bread generously to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
  • Enjoy immediately after cooking for the best melted cheese experience.
