Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet and Savory Grilled Cheese French Toast
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add diced shallots and fresh thyme, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Spread a generous layer of apple butter on two slices of thick-sliced white bread or Texas toast. On one slice, layer sautéed shallots, thin apple slices, and a mix of shredded Roth Grand Cru and Havarti cheeses. Top with another slice of bread.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together one large egg and a splash of milk until fully combined for the egg wash.
  4. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and melt another teaspoon of butter. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, egg side down. Brush the top with remaining egg wash, and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Gently flip each sandwich using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until both sides are golden-brown and the cheese is melted.
