3 ingredients = a classic combination and a delicious treat


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.  

  1. Slice a french baguette in half lengthwise.  
  2. Core and slice an apple (about 1/2 inch slices) of your favorite variety (I like Honey Crisp or Pink Ladies best).  
  3. Grate or use your knife to take a few hunks out of some good quality white cheddar.
  4. 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!!).
  5. Toast in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns slightly brown on the corners.  
  6. 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.

You are one classy snacker. I'm down with covering anything and everything with cheese.
