Gourmet Grilled Cheese: Maple, Apple, Ham

I love fall. The crispness in the air, the smells, the food. It just seems to envelop you in cozy. Warm soup and sandwiches seem are the perfect compliment to fall’s personality. Take this simple sandwich and up your grilled cheese game.

My kids love this sandwich. I love this sandwich. My 4 year old calls it “the special sandwich” and asks for it all the time. My 2 year old devours it. All the ingredients are already staples in our house which makes throwing together this “fancy” gourmet grilled cheese a piece of cake. This is a win, win.

What You Need:
  • Ham (we like Uncured Black Forest Ham)
  • Apple sliced thin…circle, not wedge (granny smith is perfect on this sandwich but we use whatever crisp apples we have in the house)
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Maple Butter (the jar lasts forever)
  • Real Butter (it makes a difference)
  • Bread (we use some fresh baked Italian bread we get every week)

You can substitute the maple butter with fancy mustard, or maybe even drizzling some maple syrup would work.

What to do:
  1. Spread the Maple Butter on one slice of bread
  2. Layer cheddar cheese, apple slices, and ham
  3. Butter the outside of both pieced of bread
  4. Grill the sandwich in a frying pan until golden brown and cheese melted
  5. Enjoy!
