Apple Sage Grilled Cheese

A fancy fall grilled cheese that’s sweet and savory. Delicious for a quick weeknight dinner.

fall / vegan-option / gluten free-option

Of course you don’t need a recipe for grilled cheese, but I just HAVE to share this simple combo because it’s so so delicious. This is the sort of thing that I love to make when I don’t feel like spending time in the kitchen but I also don’t feel like leaving the house.

Sweet, soft apples, savory sage, red onion, and a good slather of grainy mustard – all between melty cheese (or vegan cheese) and bread. I think this might be my favorite sandwich assembly to date, I just love the sweet and salty mix. Make these with a bowl of soup and you have perfect week-after-Thanksgiving couch food.

But before you head to the couch – be sure to checkout Monday’s cookbook & grocery giveaway post if you haven’t already!

   Two thumbs up for the onion and grainy mustard addition! Thanks for the simple inspiration. I see this coming in handy for times I need a no-cook meal but want to stay in.

   Do you just put the raw sage inside? I remember Gordon Ramsey or someone saying to NEVER eat raw sage. I personally don’t mind it!

     It all gets cooked once you assemble and grill the sandwich 🙂
