Ingrédients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread Any bread you enjoy will work.
- 1/2 cup spicy cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 apple, thinly sliced (preferably a crisp variety like Granny Smith) Experiment with different types of apples for varying flavors.
- 1/4 cup arugula Feel free to swap with spinach or lettuce based on your taste.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Adds flavor to the sandwich.
- 1 teaspoon olive oil Can substitute with dairy-free margarine if desired.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Shred the spicy cheddar cheese if it isn’t pre-shredded. Slice the apple thinly, aiming for uniformity for the best texture.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it’s warm enough to get that perfect golden crust.
Assembly
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice of bread.
- On one slice of bread, place the shredded spicy cheddar cheese generously.
- Layer the thin apple slices on top of the cheese, following with the arugula.
- Top with the second slice of bread, keeping the mustard side down.
Cooking
- Brush the outer sides of the sandwich lightly with olive oil.
- Carefully place the sandwich in your preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Keep an eye on the sandwich. You want the cheese to be melted and gooey.
Serving
- Once cooked, remove the sandwich from heat, slice it in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 1-2 days. For freezing, maintain texture by thawing overnight before reheating.
