Recipe type: Sandwich

Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 2 sandwiches
 
Ingredients
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced (I used Pink Lady, but I think Cripps Pink or Honeycrisp would also be delicious)
  • 1 leek, white and light green parts only
  • 4 slices Gouda (your slices will need to be large enough to cover a slice of bread)
  • 4 slices of bread
  • Fresh-ground pepper
  • Butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with foil.
  2. Put a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread and lay it, butter side down, on the pan.
  3. Place Gouda slice on one piece of bread for each sandwich.
  4. Thinly slice the white and light green parts from the leek and put on the other slice of bread for each sandwich.
  5. Top sliced leeks with the other slice of Gouda for each sandwich.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is toasty. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place the apples on the slice of bread that does not have the leeks.
  7. Remove from oven and top with fresh-ground pepper before putting sandwiches together.
  8. Eat your heart out!
