At first glance, the combination of Brie, apple butter, ham, and green apple might seem like an unconventional filling for a grilled cheese sandwich, but trust us when we say that it is a match made in foodie heaven. The combination of velvety, melted Brie, sweet apple butter, salty ham, and tart green apple creates a symphony on your taste buds, especially when sandwiched between two slices of crisp, buttery sourdough. Think of it like a baked Brie sandwich, with a center of gooey, rich cheese surrounded by a myriad of complementary flavors and textures.
