Description
This Apple Brie Grilled Cheese is crispy, extra cheesy, savory, and a little sweet! It's very simple, easy to make, and the combination of apple and thyme makes this the perfect lunch or dinner for fall and winter.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard (or honey garlic mustard)
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 round brie cheese (approx. 140-160g, 5oz)
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, stems removed
Instructions
- Lay your slices of bread on a cutting board, spread butter on the outer sides, and mustard on the inside.
- Add grated cheddar cheese, brie cheese, thinly sliced apple, and fresh thyme to two slices and top with the other two slices.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the bread. I recommend cooking one sandwich at a time so it’s easier to flip if your pan is smaller.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Press the grilled cheese down with a spatula as it cooks to make it easier to flip. Add more butter if needed.
- Slice in half and enjoy right away. Serve with more mustard or with a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
Notes
Storing: This grilled cheese is best enjoyed right away while it's still hot. Once you store it, the cheese will harden up and the bread will lose its crispiness.
