Recipe of the Day: Angie Eckert's Dessert Grilled Cheese

Angie Eckert of Eckert’s Farm is here to share a dessert grilled cheese recipe.

Angie Eckert of Eckert’s Farm joins Show Me St. Louis for our recipe of the day! On today’s plate, dessert grilled cheese with apples and Nutella.

An unusual sounding combination, but delicious! Angie says this is a great after school snack, especially this time of year when the apples are fresh at Eckert’s!

Apple season officially begins on Saturday August 17, and it begins with the gala apple. Kids can even pick a bag of apples for free!

Dessert Grilled Cheese with Apples & Nutella

4 slices of Eckert’s Cinnamon Bread
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. granulated sugar
¼ cup Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, divided
¼ cup crème fraiche or ricotta cheese
1 Eckert’s apple, cut in half and sliced thin

Place bread on a sheet of foil or parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine butter, cinnamon and sugar. Spread butter mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread. Flip slices of bread over. On 2 slices of bread, spread Nutella evenly and spread crème fraiche or ricotta cheese on remaining two slices. Top Nutella covered slices with apple slices and place ricotta covered slices on top of the apple slices. In a large skillet over medium heat, toast sandwiches until desired doneness (bread will be golden brown). Cool 5 minutes before cutting into bite size pieces. Serve with remaining Nutella. Makes 16 bite size servings.

Note: This recipe can be assembled a day ahead, stored in an air tight container lined with parchment paper and cooked in a skillet just before serving.
