Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread of your choice
  • 8 slices Havarti cheese
  • 1/2 Fuji apple cored and sliced
  • 1/2 cup spinach washed, stems removed
  • 2 tbsp honey seeded Dijon mustards
  • 2 tbsp Mayo avocado oil based
  • 2 tbsp butter softened at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients. Slice apple and cheese—spread mustard on one side of bread and mayo on another slice. Top slice of the bread with two pieces of cheese, spinach, add apple slices and cheese. Cover with the second slice of bread.
  • Butter each side of the sandwich. Preheat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or griddle on medium-low heat.
  • Place sandwich on the preheated skillet and grill sandwich on both sides slow till cheese starts melting. The process should take about 3 minutes per side. Flip over using a large spatula. Use a knife to cut in half and serve.

Notes

Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and softened butter for the bread.
Butter the sides and always use low-medium heat to grill the sandwich.
For best results, placed a heavy press on top of the sandwich. I used a second cast-iron skillet.
Use a serrated knife to slice the sandwich in half.
Variations. To change up the flavor of this sandwich, try this recipe with different apples and cheeses varieties, use arugula instead of spinach, jam instead of mustard, add some protein ham or bacon.
