Cheddar and Apple Grilled Cheese

American flavors, weeknight effort. Sourdough bread meets sharp cheddar in a 12-minute breakfast worth keeping in rotation. Each serving lands at 775 calories with 34g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 4 oz Sharp cheddar
• 1/2 Apple
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme

Steps

1. Slice the apple paper-thin; thick slices keep the sandwich from sealing.
2. Layer cheddar, apple, and thyme leaves between the bread slices.
3. Butter the outsides of the sandwich generously.
4. Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until deep golden and the cheese pulls.
5. Rest 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly.
6. Slice diagonally and serve.
