The Crow's Nest's Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. rosemary
¼ cup water
2 slices Pugliese bread
2 slices cheddar
¼ cup shredded smoked mozzarella
Honey to taste
Preparation
• First, make the apple-rosemary compote: Combine the apples, sugar, rosemary and water in a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Set over medium heat, stirring frequently until the apples begin to fall apart. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until the compote reaches a soft, chunky consistency.
• Once the compote is ready, assemble the sandwich: Place both cheeses on 1 slice of bread and smear the compote on the other slice. Drizzle honey over the compote.
• Combine the slices so that the cheese- and compote-covered sides are facing one another.
• Place the sandwich in a dry skillet over medium heat. Once the underside is nicely browned, flip and grill the other side until it is browned and the cheese has melted.
• Serve immediately.
