Recipe: Apple Cinnamon Horseradish Cheddar Grilled Cheese
Summary: Sweet, peppery, crunchy, melty, crispy and sinus-clearing, this Apple Cinnamon Horseradish Cheddar Grilled Cheese sandwich hits all the flavor notes!
Ingredients
- 2 slices cinnamon swirl raisin bread (I used my favorite Sun-Maid brand)
- Great Midwest Apple Cinnamon Cheddar cheese
- Baby arugula
- 1 green or red apple
- Great Midwest Horseradish Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat your countertop grill, panini press or skillet.
- Lay out the bread on a board. Top one slice with thin slices of Apple Cinnamon Cheddar, then a few leaves of baby arugula, a couple of paper-thin slices of apple, and then thin slices of Horseradish Cheddar.
- Put the lid on the sandwich and toast it in your device of choice. It will take 1-2 minutes for the cheese to melt and the bread to get toasty. (You don’t need to butter the bread; it will toast just fine on its own. You also don’t need any condiments on this sandwich because it is packed with flavor!)
- Remove from grill, allow to sit for 1 minute, and then slice in half and serve. Fresh fruit goes well with this sandwich.
- Serves 1.
