Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Can be swapped for whole grain or gluten-free bread.
  • 8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese Consider brie for richness or gouda for a different twist.

  • 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries Add sweetness and a chewy contrast.
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter Can use olive oil or vegan butter as alternatives.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple and Cranberry Grilled Cheese
  1. Begin by thinly slicing your Granny Smith apples, aiming for about 1/8 inch in thickness for the best integration.
  2. Spread a generous layer of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the preheated skillet. Layer sharp cheddar cheese, sliced apples, and cranberries on top.
  4. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet, cooking for 3-5 minutes until golden-brown.
  5. Flip the sandwich over using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden.
  6. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve.
