Apple and Thyme Gruyère Grilled Cheese on Cinnamon-Raisin Bread
  1. 1

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread; flip so the buttered sides face down.

  2. 2

    Top two slices of bread with apple slices, 1/3 cup Gruyere cheese, and a sprinkle of thyme leaves.

  3. 3

    Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered sides facing up.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat.

  5. 5

    Add the sandwiches to the hot pan and cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is slightly melted, 4 to 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flip carefully with a spatula, pressing down lightly.

  7. 7

    Cook the sandwiches until golden brown and the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes more, watching and adjusting the heat if needed to keep the bread from burning before the cheese melts.

  8. 8

    Transfer the sandwiches to a plate, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately.
