Nothing says fall like crisp apples, melty cheddar, and the warm, earthy taste of sage. This grilled cheese, made with our Rustic Sourdough Bread, is packed with caramelized onions, buttery brie, and all the cozy flavors of autumn. Perfect for a crisp afternoon or a casual fall dinner!

What You’ll Need:

• 4 slices Rustic Sourdough Bread
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
• 2 large yellow onions, sliced ½ inch thick
• 8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 oz brie cheese, sliced into slivers
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

1. Caramelize the Onions: Start by melting 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onions and stir every few minutes. After 10 minutes, add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Keep cooking for another 30-40 minutes until golden and sweet. Add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.
2. Make Sage Butter: Mix the chopped sage with 4 tablespoons of softened butter and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches: On one slice of bread, layer brie, cheddar, thin apple slices, ¼ cup caramelized onions, more cheddar, and then top it off with another slice of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of sage butter on the top slice.
4. Grill It Up: Heat a skillet on medium with olive oil. Place your sandwich buttered-side down in the skillet and spread the remaining sage butter on the top. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.

Serve warm, melty, and delicious! This grilled cheese is the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and everything cozy for fall. Enjoy!
