Directions:

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 12 minutes

Serves: 4

Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle pan over medium low heat.

Toss the shredded cheeses together and set aside 1 tablespoon of the mixture.

Next, build your sandwiches. Lay a slice of buttered bread on a flat surface, top it with a ta-blespoon or two of cheese, a few slices of ham, a few slices of apple, and another small amount of cheese on top. Place the second piece of buttered bread on top of the sandwich.

Repeat with the ingredients for the remaining 3 sandwiches.

Once the griddle or pan is preheated add a scattering of 1/4 of the remaining cheese and place a sandwich on top. Cook for 3 minutes, then check to see if the bread is golden brown. If so, flip with a spatula and cook the second side for 3 minutes checking every now and then until golden.

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients making 4 sandwiches total.

Serve immediately.
