The cinnamon-raisin bread adds a touch of sweetness to the creamy Gruyere cheese, the apples add a little crunch and pop of tartness, and the thyme gives it freshness with just a tease of its flavor, just enough to make this sandwich special.

Directions

  • Spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread; flip, so that buttered sides are facing down. Top 2 slices of bread with apple slices, 1/3 cup Gruyere cheese, and a sprinkle of thyme leaves. Place the other 2 slices of bread on top, buttered sides facing up.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwiches to the hot pan and cook until bread has toasted and cheese has slightly melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip carefully using a spatula, pressing down lightly. Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes more, watching and adjusting heat if necessary to keep bread from burning before cheese has melted.

  • Transfer sandwiches to a plate, slice in 1/2 diagonally, and serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

If Gruyere cheese is not available, Swiss cheese may be substituted.

Used Laughing Cow original Swiss because that s what I had and it spreads nicely. It was one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. Told about 3 people how delicious it was. Read More

Genius idea with my favorite cheese! I made one sandwich as written (on raisin bread) and the other on sourdough bread. My hubby & I each had 1/2 of both. They were delicious but being more of a 'savory gal' I preferred the one made on sourdough bread. Nevertheless what a terrific idea since I also like thinking outside of the (proverbial) box. Thanks:-) Read More

This was an easy and quick recipe. I used Challah Bread, so additional cheese was necessary. Next time, I would mix the thyme into the shredded cheese for more even distribution. I think the indicated cinnamon raisin bread would be very good. Maybe next time Read More
