Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 slices Sourdough Bread or whole grain or ciabatta
For the Cheese
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese or plant-based cheese for vegan option
For the Spread
  • 2 tablespoons Grainy Dijon Mustard or yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
For the Heat
  • 2 tablespoons Pickled Jalapeños or fresh jalapeños
For the Crunch
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion or sweet onions or scallions
  • 1 handful Kettle Potato Chips or favorite chips
For the Sweetness
  • 1 medium Honeycrisp Apple or Granny Smith
For the Greens
  • 1 handful Arugula or spinach or romaine

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • broiler
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your broiler to high. Arrange two slices of sourdough bread on a baking sheet and place it under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes until they are lightly toasted and golden brown.
  2. Once the bread is toasted, flip each slice over on the baking sheet. Place a generous layer of sharp cheddar cheese on one slice and return it to broil for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
  3. Remove the toasted bread from the oven carefully. On the uncheesed slice, spread a layer of grainy Dijon mustard. Drizzle honey over the mustard, then layer pickled jalapeños, thin apple slices, red onion rings, arugula, and kettle chips.
  4. Gently place the cheese-covered slice atop your assembled ingredients to create a complete sandwich. Press down lightly to crunch the chips slightly. Use a sharp knife to slice the sandwich in half.
