grilled cheese

Yesterday was one of those gloomy, chilly days where it sprinkled on and off all day--making it extremely difficult to find motivation to leave the house. A few of my friends and I managed to make a trip to the store though--and I'm very glad we did because we were able to create the perfect gloomy day dinner: grilled cheese.




I realize grilled cheese can easily consist of Kraft american cheese and cheap white bread, but when we make these sandwiches, we like to change it up and add more components.  Here's what we used to create this one:

french bread
brie cheese (any kind of cheese is obviously fine, but softer cheese tends to melt better)
green apples
prosciutto
butter (to brush the outside of the bread)

Make sure to slice the apples really thin so that the taste doesn't overwhelm the rest of the sandwich.

The best part of this meal is you can get creative! What are your favorite grilled cheese add-ons?
