Apple and Aged Cheddar Grilled Cheese

1. 1Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
2. 2Once the pan is warm, add one slice of bread, buttered side down, then top with half of the cheese, all of the apple slices, and finally the remaining cheese. Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
3. 3Cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.

Beverage pairing: Joseph Drouhin Chablis, France. This wine, a minerally and unoaked Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, has apple and pear flavors, as well as a brisk, citric bite. It’s the perfect bridge between the sharp cheese and crisp apples.
