I was hungry. I went to the fridge and found an apple and brie. I put them on some bread for a grilled cheese sandwich. It was good. The end.

ha ha!

It's hard to find that place between gushing and just writing the basics.

It's a grilled cheese sandwich. But, no boring American cheese in my house. Brie has always been one of my favorite cheese and if you bring it to room temperature it gets even softer, maybe even a little runny, making it wonderful for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Heating up the apples first and popping it on top of the brie helps to melt it even more. And the slight crunch of the apple with the crisp sourdough and soft cheese is a lovely texture combination in addition to the fabulous flavors.

Secret for the Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Some people spread butter on the bread before cooking the sandwich. Some melt it in the pan. My number one tip for any grilled cheese sandwich is: hold the butter.

Use mayonnaise instead!

Not only does it spread more easily, and is less likely to burn, it adds a tangy zippy flavor to your sandwich you didn't know you were missing.
