Ingredients
- 4 slices Artisan bread (sourdough or rustic white)
- 120 grams Brie cheese
- 1 small Granny Smith apple
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 handful Fresh arugula (optional)
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Core and thinly slice the Granny Smith apple into rounds or half-moons. Set the slices aside.
Step 2
Spread the unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 3
Place two of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate.
Step 4
Layer each slice with 60 grams of brie cheese, several apple slices, and one teaspoon of honey. Optionally, add a small handful of arugula for a peppery flavor and a pinch of black pepper for seasoning.
Step 5
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, pressing gently to compress the sandwich slightly.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium-low heat.
Step 7
Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing down lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the brie has melted completely.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Cheese with a Twist!
