On Saturday night Jared made us a terrific snack with a mere three ingredients. This is great for single people or couples because it's relatively inexpensive (with the exception of the 4-year-old cheddar which I suggest not "scrimping on" due to its intense flavor. It really sets the whole thing off, although any good quality cheddar will do.) I suppose I have become somewhat of a "cheese snob."
A classic combo of apples and cheese is the perfect topping for a crusty, chewy baguette.
- Slice a french baguette in half lengthwise.
- Core and slice an apple (about 1/2 inch slices) of your favorite variety (I like Honey Crisp or Pink Ladies best).
- Grate or use your knife to take a few hunks out of some good quality white cheddar.
- Spread the apple slices over the bread evenly, top the apples with the cheese (be as liberal as you'd like. Part of the joy of cooking - you decide how much cheese!!).
- Toast in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns slightly brown on the corners.
- Take a bite while it's warm and melty from the oven. :)
If you don't enjoy this, you're nuts. Really, you've gotta try this combination, it's easy and totally delicious.
