Ingredients

100 g extra old cheddar cheese
8 slices bread (apple-sunflower if you can get it!)
1 granny smith apple very thinly sliced
mayonnaise

Instructions

Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the outer faces of the bread slices.
Sprinkle some cheese on the inside of each sandwich, then a layer of apple slices, followed by a thicker layer of cheese, more apple, and a final thin layer of cheese. The two outer layers of cheese help glue the whole sandwich together.
Heat a cast-iron frying pan or a griddle over medium-high. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side.
Allow to cool a few minutes before slicing and serving so that the sandwiches stay together better.

Notes

Serve with your choice of condiment (pineapple mustard is fantastic, as is any homemade or fruity ketchup).
