Grilled Cheddar and Apple Sandwich with Savory Raspberry Coulis

Grilled Cheddar and Apple Sandwich with Savory Raspberry Coulis

6oz white cheddar cheese, grated and divided

1 green apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

4 slices bread

Butter

 

1/2 C. fresh raspberries

2T. honey

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. balsamic vinegar

 

Start with the coulis: in a food processor, whizz together the raspberries, mustard, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to taste. Set aside. Heat a heavy saucepan (I like cast iron) over medium heat. Butter the bread slices on one side. On two of the slices, spread the unbuttered side with raspberry coulis. Place two slices of bread butter side down (coulis side up) in the skillet. Take half of the cheese and spread it evenly over the two slices in the skillet. Then, place half the apples in a thin layer on each slice. Distribute the remaining half of the cheese over the top of the apples–at this point you should have bread-coulis-cheese-apple-cheese. Place the remaining pieces of bread on the tops of the sandwiches–butter side up. Press down with your spatula to really mash everything together. Cover loosely and cook for five minutes. After five minutes, uncover and carefully flip the sandwich. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until it is oozing and amazing. Serve with a nice salad and a drizzle of the remaining coulis. Makes 2 sandwiches
