A woman's hand holds two halves stacked of an Autumn Grilled Cheese Sandwich. This apple grilled cheese contains gouda cheese, granny smith apples, whole grain mustard, smoked turkey, & arugula. Out of focus & in the background there is a white linen napkin, pieces of granny smith apple, a wooden spoon filled with mustard, & pieces of arugula resting on a grey plaster surface.

Description

Autumn Grilled Cheese Sandwiches stuffed with fall flavor! Hearty whole-grain bread slathered in whole grain mustard & sandwiched around melty gouda, smoked turkey, & crisp granny smith apples. The only thing missing is a big dunk into a bowl of tomato soup!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices whole grain bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 4 ounces sliced gouda cheese
  • 8 ounces smoked deli turkey (or your favorite deli meat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a medium, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches! Spread ½ tablespoon butter one one of each slice of bread and sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt (this adds major flavor to the sandwich!). On the opposite side of each slice of bread, spread ½ tablespoon of mustard. Layer the sliced apple on two slices of bread and top with a piece of cheese. Add the arugula to the other two slices of bread, top with a slice of cheese and the smoked turkey. Gently flip the slices of bread with turkey over onto the slices of bread with the apple, forming sandwiches.
  3. Cook on both sides until each side is deeply golden brown in color and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Slice in half and serve with tomato soup. Enjoy!
