Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices of sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)
- 1–2 ounces sliced sharp cheddar cheese
Condiments
- 1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard
- 1–2 teaspoons honey
Vegetables and Fruit
- 10 slices pickled jalapeños
- 5–6 thin slices of red onion
- ¼ honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup arugula
Crunch
- ½ cup kettle potato chips
- Toast the Bread: Place both slices of sourdough bread on a small baking sheet and broil them in the oven on high for 1-2 minutes, until they turn lightly browned. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
- Melt the Cheese: Remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the slices. Cover one slice with the sliced sharp cheddar cheese and place back under the broiler for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted nicely.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Take the cheesy bread slice out of the oven and top it with the pickled jalapeños. Spread the other plain bread slice evenly with grainy dijon mustard, then drizzle honey on top. Layer the sliced honeycrisp apple, red onion slices, fresh arugula, and kettle potato chips over the mustard-honey slice.
- Finish and Serve: Carefully close the sandwich, pressing gently so the kettle chips crunch. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Watch the bread closely while broiling to avoid burning as broilers can vary in intensity.
- You can substitute sourdough with any sturdy bread you prefer.
- If you prefer less spicy flavor, adjust the amount of pickled jalapeños.
- The kettle potato chips add a wonderful crunch but can be replaced with your favorite crunchy snack.
- Use fresh ingredients like honeycrisp apple for the best crisp texture and sweetness.
