Ingredients
2slicesof whole-grain or whole-wheat bread
1sliceof Havarti cheese*
1Pink Lady Applethinly sliced**
1tablespoonof Butter
Instructions
Over medium to medium-high heat, warm a saute or frying pan.
Apply butter to a single side of each piece of bread.
Place the buttered side of bread down on the heated pan.
Add a slice of Havarti cheese -- if your deli uses a wide block of cheese, it may be necessary to trim the excess if it is too large for your slice of bread.
Layer the apple slices on top of the cheese; top with a couple of small pieces (quarter size or less) of cheese, which will help hold the apple in place as the cheese melts.
Place the other piece of bread own the sandwich -- butter side up.
Grill or saute over medium to medium-heat for 3-8 minutes or until the bread begins to get brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwich using a spatula and then cook the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Notes
*I pick up my Havarti from my grocery deli and I always request that it be cut on a "three"; that thickness works very well for grilled sandwiches. ** For ease, use a mandolin to evenly slice the apples. This recipe serves one but can be easily adjusted for a crowd.
