Grilled Cheese with Apple and Arugula

8 slices Fruited Sourdough Sandwich Bread

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter

1/2 cup Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced

1 ounce baby arugula

8 ounces sliced sharp cheddar cheese

Heat a panini pan or cast iron frying pan.

Generously butter one side of each slice of bread.   Flip four slices over so the butter side is facing down. Top each with the sliced apple, cheddar, arugula, and the remaining slices of bread (butter side up).

On the heated pan, toast the sandwiches until both sides are a nice golden brown and the cheese has melted within. You can also toast the sandwiches for a few minutes on each side, then transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet and finish baking in a preheated 350°F oven for another 5 minutes; this allows the cheese to melt in the center of the sandwich.

Slice sandwiches, and serve warm.

Makes 4 sandwiches.
