One of my favorite snacks (okay, meals) is just little antipasto plates. Cheese, crackers, fruits, salumis, nuts, veggies. Often, I’ll just slice up some cheese & an apple & eat it with some crackers. It’s light but filling all at the same time. So when I saw this post at Oscar’s Sandwich, I knew I had to try it. To be perfectly honest, I am the worst grilled cheese maker ever. I ALWAYS burn the crap out of them. No matter how many different “tips & tricks” I’ve tried, it never fails — I burn them. To be perfectly honest, I don’t really mind burnt grilled cheese. Buuuuuuut they aren’t very photo worthy. I’m not even sure how many times I’ve made this trying to get some non burnt ones. I won’t even tell you how I did it, cuz I am pretty sure it was sheer luck. What I will tell you is that you should make it, & that it’s totally okay if it turns out kinda burnt.
What You Need:
- Sourdough bread, sliced (or any bread of your choice)
- 1 medium green apple, sliced
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 10 spinach leaves
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp stone ground mustard
- butter
- Spread mayo & mustard on one side of your bread, & butter on the other (cover edge to edge with butter)
- Add 1/2 of your cheese, spread evenly
- Layer apple on top, slightly overlapping
- Top with a few layers of spinach leaves
- Add the remaining cheddar cheese
- Top with your other slice of bread
- Heat saute pan up on medium high & then place the sandwich on the pan
- When it starts turning a golden brown & the cheese is melting, carefully flip over
- When the other side is golden brown, remove from heat & enjoy! (I’m sure this would all be easier with some sort of panini press or what not)
