My husband turns his nose up and runs from the kitchen every time I make this sandwich. He calls himself "a purist" when it comes to many things...meaning he doesn't want me messing with classic dishes. But when it comes to grilled cheese, I like it many different ways. While I also like a plain 'ol grilled cheese sandwich, if you add some thinly sliced apples to the mix, you get a pleasant surprise. I realize this will sound weird to many of you...but it's good! And if you have some sunflower seeds, add those too.
2 tablespoons butter
2 slices of bread
whatever cheese you like and however much you like on a grilled cheese
1 apple, thinly sliced
sunflower seeds, optional
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Instead of spreading butter on the bread, I like to melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan and let it get nice and bubbly, but not brown. Add 1 slice of bread to the hot pan. Layer the cheese on top of the bread, followed by sunflower seeds, a nice layer of apples, and another layer of cheese. Place the second piece of bread on top and allow the bottom piece of bread to become a nice golden brown color. When the color is to your liking, lift the sandwich from the pan and melt a second tablespoon of butter. When the butter is melted, place the sandwich back in the pan, untoasted side down, and allow it to become golden brown as well. To serve, slice sandwich down the middle and enjoy.
