Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)
- 1–2 ounces sliced sharp cheddar cheese
Condiments and Toppings
- 1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard
- 1–2 teaspoons honey
- 10 slices pickled jalapeños
- 5–6 thin slices red onion
- ¼ honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
- ½ cup kettle potato chips
- ¼ cup arugula
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Place both slices of bread on a small baking sheet and broil on high in the oven for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Broil with cheese: Remove the baking sheet, flip the bread slices over, cover one slice with the sliced cheddar cheese, and return to the broiler for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Assemble sandwich: Remove from oven, top the melted cheese slice with pickled jalapeños. Spread dijon mustard on the plain bread slice, then drizzle honey on top. Layer apple slices, red onion, arugula, and kettle potato chips over the mustard side.
- Finish and serve: Carefully close the sandwich, gently press to crush the chips slightly for crunch, slice in half, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Watch the bread carefully when broiling to prevent burning.
- You can substitute sourdough with any sturdy bread of your choice.
- Adjust the number of jalapeños for preferred spice level.
- For extra flavor, use smoked cheddar or add a hint of black pepper.
- Best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crunch of the chips and crispness of the apple.
