What's For Dinner: Apple, Cheddar, and Dijon Mustard Sandwich



Martha Stewart was on a recent episode of The Oprah show, and on that episode one of the segments was about "How to Throw a Grilled Cheese Party" -- the inspiration for this dinner. For my party of one, I opted to make a grilled cheese sandwich that featured a Granny Smith apple, cheddar cheese, and a little dijon mustard. I've heard of serving apple pie with a slice of cheddar on top -- and after this sandwich, I think I totally get it -- the sharpness of the cheddar cheese really works well with the sweet and tart flavor of the apple. Yum!

makes one sandwich

unsalted butter
2 slices whole wheat bread
Tillamook Vintage White Cheddar cheese, cut into several thin slices
2 teaspoons organic dijon mustard
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Generously slather one side of each bread slice with unsalted butter.
3. Spread one teaspoon of dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread.
4. Add a layer of sliced apple on top of the mustard.
5. Place a layer of cheddar cheese on top of the apples.
6. Repeat the process on the other slice of bread.
7. Carefully place both halves of the sandwich together.
8. Place on the heated skillet and cook until lightly browned.
9. Carefully flip the sandwich over and brown the other side.
10. If the cheese has not melted completely, remove the sandwich from the skillet, place it on a baking sheet, and heat in the oven under the broiler setting for about five minutes.
11. Serve immediately.
