Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices of sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)
- 1-2 ounces sliced sharp cheddar cheese
Spreads and Toppings
- 1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
- 10 slices pickled jalapeños
- 5-6 thin slices red onion
- 1/4 honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup kettle potato chips
- 1/4 cup arugula
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Place both slices of bread on a small baking sheet and broil on high in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Watch carefully to avoid burning the bread.
- Melt the Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the slices over, and cover one slice with the sliced sharp cheddar. Return to the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Remove the pan from the oven. Top the melted cheese slice with pickled jalapeños. Spread the Dijon mustard on the plain bread slice, then drizzle honey over it. Layer on the thin apple slices, red onion slices, arugula, and kettle potato chips.
- Finish and Serve: Carefully close the sandwich, pressing gently to crunch the chips inside. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Watch the bread closely while broiling to prevent burning.
- Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh honeycrisp apples for the best sweet-tart contrast.
- Choose thick-cut kettle chips for maximum crunch.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately to keep chips crisp.
