Recipe by Kari Henes, Winner of the Cosmic Crisp® Culinary Challenge At-Home Chef Category!

“This is definitely thinking outside the box with a familiar dish and a familiar pairing BUT presenting it in a different way. The photo made me want to make it immediately. I could see the different textures and imagine the taste of the sweet crispness of the apples paired with the salty gooeyness of the blue cheese grilled cheese.”

-Carla Hall, Chef and Cosmic Crisp® Culinary Challenge Judge

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉. Prepare each of the two grilled cheese sandwiches by placing two slices of havarti cheese and 1/2 the blue cheese crumbles between two slices of bread. Spread each side of the sandwiches with melted butter and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes per side, or until brown.
  2. While the sandwiches bake, core one Cosmic Crisp® apple and slice thinly. Also slice thinly 1/4 of a small red onion. Set both aside.
  3. To prepare the dressing, add the olive oil, juice of half a lemon and honey to a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste and whisk together.
  4. Once the sandwiches have finished baking, cut each one into 8 squares and place into a large glass bowl. Add the Cosmic Crisp® apples, red onion and dressing to the bowl, toss gently. Garnish with additional blue cheese crumbles chopped parsley or apple slices and enjoy!

⚠️ Warning: Cosmic Crisp® apples are so juicy you just might get spritzed when you bite into one! It’s a scientific fact 😋 🍎⁠

When you bite into the ruby exterior of a Cosmic Crisp® apple, you break through the cell walls inside the apple to release all that delicious juice.

The little white dots on Cosmic Crisp® apples may resemble the cosmos, but there’s a natural benefit behind them 😯

Known as lenticels, these white dots act as natural openings for oxygen and water to pass through. The fact that they look like a starry night is just a bonus 😉💫 (Hence the Cosmic Crisp® name!)
