Grilled Apple-and-Cheese Sandwich with Sage Hazelnut Pesto
Since it’s soup weather, I’ve been hankering for grilled cheese(s?) to eat with my soup. And if Fall could be a sandwich… it would be THIS ONE.
We start with a sage hazelnut pesto. Nothing really says fall like sage. Warm and earthy- it kinda smells like brown and yellow leaves on the ground, doesn’t it?
Smells really good. Just trust me.
Then grab your favorite bread and slice it up.
MMm… bread… I have been known to devour little loaves like this in one sitting… PLAIN.
The pesto is pretty potent… but quite awesome, so awesomeness on BOTH sides.
Pick a favorite apple. Do you have one? There are so many varieties, it’s hard to pick one favorite. I think this was a Honeycrisp. It was sweet and lovely.
Oh, and cheese. Duh. I used a sharp white cheddar. I also tried tart Granny Smiths with Brie. All good.
Grill it.
I am totally starting to fall in love with Fall.
