Cranberry aioli, granny smith apple slices, smoked gouda, and white cheddar on sourdough make this grilled cheese lover’s dream!
This sandwich manages to have the perfect savory and sweet elements with a buttery bite all at the same time. A fabulous sammy and would be so good with Thanksgiving turkey too!
Look at this beauty.
The key to a great grilled cheese is a good griddle and I found that with my Swiss Diamond’s XD Nonstick Square Grill Pan. Perfect for indoor grilling! You can explore their AMAZING cookware line here- https://56b5d9.myshopify.com?sca_ref=6010988.W7ljfa3phx
