Divine Grilled Cheese

In the spare time I have tonight, between watching The Dead Files on the Travel Channel (seriously, if you've not watched it, you've not lived) and losing feeling in my left hand thanks to pinched nerves in my spine, I've decided to entertain you with a little delight of deliciousness to please your palates.

I do hope you enjoy this recipe. I like it. I don't make it often, but have enjoyed it. It's one of those treats I like to make when the "I don't know what the hell I want" beast rolls into my belly.

Camembert-Apple Grilled Cheese with Salted Caramel Dipping Sauce

• 1/4 cup caramel sauce (jarred sauce is perfectly suitable)
• 3 sprigs thyme
• 1/2 baguette
• 4 ounces Camembert cheese - rind removed, thinly sliced
• 1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced (make sure no seeds get in there - ick!)
• butter for grilling
• Sea Salt (optional for topping)

Combine the caramel, thyme sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small microwaveable safe bowl. Heat in microwave for about 1 minute. Cover to keep warm. Set aside.

Cut the baguette into 4 long, angled slices. Divide half the cheese among two of the slices, top with apple slices, then remaining cheese, followed by remaining bread.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook each side of both sandwiches, evenly, until well toasted (to your liking) and cheese is melted. Usually about 4 minutes each side.

Remove thyme from caramel sauce, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve as dipping sauce for your sandwiches. Eat and enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. Please let me know if you liked it or not. Experiment with different bread, cheeses, and fillers!
