Sourdough Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I’ve made a lot of sourdough Grilled Cheese Sandwiches over the years, but this one? It’s my absolute favorite. Made with golden, crispy sourdough, melty brie, a hint of honey, and thinly sliced green apple for an irresistible sweet-tangy crunch, it is ready in just 10 minutes. I guarantee it’ll become your next go-to gourmet sandwich.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 ounces brie cheese sliced thin
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ green apple sliced thin
Instructions
- Spread the softened butter over one side of each slice of bread. Flip the bread over so that the butter is facing down.
- Arrange 2-3 slices of brie on 2 pieces of prepared bread.
- Top with a drizzle of honey and apple slices.
- Add sliced brie and top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cover with a lid, cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is slightly golden in color.
- Remove the lid, flip the sandwiches, cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove, slice in half, and serve hot.
Notes
- My #1 Tip for making the best grilled cheese is to always use a pan with a lid, it traps just enough heat to melt the cheese perfectly while keeping the bread crisp. I used to make the mistake of cooking on too high of heat, and I’d end up with burnt bread and barely melted cheese.
- Keep the heat low: I always cook on medium-low heat so the bread doesn’t burn before the cheese melts. A little patience makes for the perfectly gooey, golden sandwich.
- Butter on the outside: I always butter the outside of the bread, it’s the secret to getting that crispy, golden crust we all love.
- Use the right pan: A nonstick or cast iron skillet is my go-to because it gives the bread a crispy exterior without burning.
- Lighten it up: If I want a lower-calorie version, I just cut the butter and cheese in half, it still turns out delicious!
