Fall is the perfect time for soups and stews, slow cooker recipes and homemade bread right out of the oven- but may we present another option: a fall inspired grilled cheese?

You might not think you need a recipe for grilled cheese… and that’s probably true. Bread, cheese, toast it, done. But this Fall Grilled Cheese has a few more ingredients, and some specifics when it comes to the kinds of cheese that will really bring out the best flavors! Plus, did you know that most of the recipes we share are Minnesota farmer- approved? Our volunteers submit recipes that they and their families love. You can meet our volunteers on our website’s volunteer page!

In this fall-inspired recipe, cranberries, apples, and honey add some sweetness, with salty bacon on board to balance it out. Apples and wild rice are quintessential Minnesota, making this recipe not only perfect for fall, but perfect for celebrating Minnesota, too!

Ingredients

  • 2 slices cranberry wild rice bread

  • 2 ounces Brie, thinly sliced

  • 1 ounce white cheddar, thinly sliced

  • Drizzle of honey

  • 1 medium green apple, thinly sliced

  • 2 strips cooked bacon

Directions

  • Butter 1 side of each slice of bread.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place 1 slice of bread butter-side-down on the skillet. Top with cheeses, sliced apple, bacon, and a small drizzle of honey. Place the other slice of bread on top butter-side-up. Grilled cheese ingredients on a white counter.
  • Place a lid on top of the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and let the sandwich toast on the bottom.
  • When the cheese looks like it’s beginning to melt, take the lid off the skillet and use a spatula to check under the sandwich. When it’s golden brown, flip it gently.
  • Toast the other side of the sandwich until golden brown.

Notes

  • If you don’t have cranberry wild rice bread, use your favorite multi-grain bread and sprinkle a few dried cranberries on the sandwich along with the cheese and apples!
  • Grilled cheese tip: try using mayonnaise instead of butter on the outsides of the bread. You might never go back to battling with hard butter!
