Indulge in the rich, creamy texture of melted Brie cheese, perfectly balanced with the crisp sweetness of fresh apples and the earthy crunch of toasted walnuts. Each bite offers a delightful contrast of flavors, making this grilled cheese a gourmet experience that tantalizes the taste buds.

Ingredients

Bread: 2 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
Cheese: 4 oz Brie cheese, sliced
Apples: 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
Walnuts: 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
Butter: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Honey: 1 tablespoon (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet.
Layer the Brie cheese, apple slices, and toasted walnuts on top of the bread in the skillet.
Drizzle honey over the apple slices if desired.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
