Broiled Cheese, Honey and Apple Open Sandwiches

I got this recipe from a friend:

Broiled Cheese, Honey and Apple Open Sandwiches
1. Two slices of bread (Soft and white works best, but any kind will do)
2. Goat cheese or other soft cheese or other sliced cheese
3. Apple, sliced thinly
4. Honey

5. Sliced Almonds (Optional)

Preheat oven to "broil", 500 F or 250C. Spread cheese on bread, then broil till it's sufficiently crispy/melty for your tastes. Optional: place almonds and apples on before broiling, to make them extra crispy/toasty.
Place apple slices on bread (if they're not there already), drizzle honey, and you're done!





Sourdough bread...

With cheddar cheese...

and one topped with apple slices.

Right after broiling

One with broiled apple slices, one with crisp apple slices, drizzled with honey

The sandwiches, with leftover apple pieces
This was really good! The cheese melts into the bread and makes it soft - I think this would work even with stale bread. There wasn't really a difference between the broiled apple slices and the crisp ones: the honey was perhaps better discernible with the crisp slices. That would be delicious with wildflower honey or blueberry honey. The broiled slices were softer and the sandwich didn't fall apart as often.

The bread was Tesco's Sourdough bloomer, the cheese was Tesco's Cathedral City Mild Cheddar, the apple was from Lidl and the honey was a generic brand from Dunnes.
