Recipe Description
This gourmet grilled cheese brings together melty Black Truffle Cheddar Gruyere from Wood River Creamery with crisp apple slices, a drizzle of honey, and a touch of heat from hot sauce or spicy fermented peppers. The rich, earthy truffle flavor pairs perfectly with sweet and spicy notes, creating a bold twist on a classic comfort food.
Made with award-winning cheese that took 2nd Place in the Flavored Hard Cheeses category at the World Championship Cheese Contest, this sandwich is anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of high-quality fresh crusty bread
- Honey
- Apples, cut into thin slices
- Sriracha or any hot sauce or fermented peppers. Example: Spicy Fermented Calabrian Peppers
- 8 oz Wood River Creamery Black Truffle Cheddar Gruyere, shredded
Preparation
To make the PERFECT grilled cheese, you'll need to assemble the sandwich in a few different steps.
Butter the bread, then add the cheese slices and a few dashes of hot sauce.
Toast the sandwich in a pan on the stove until the cheese is melted.
Once the grilled cheese is fully cooked, remove it from the stove, then add the apple slices and honey.
Adding the apples & honey last keeps the apple slices nice and crisp and prevents the honey from dripping onto the pan and burning. Burnt honey/sugar is a pretty terrible taste!
