Apple Prosciutto Gruyere Grilled Cheese Sandwich! A delicious blend of sweet, crisp apple, salty prosciutto and delicious gruyere, all melted into a perfect grilled cheese sandwich!!!
Ever since my first wine and cheese party, I’ve been hooked. Crostini, charcuterie platter, cheese, fruit and wine and more. Give me all of this at a gathering or party and I am a very happy person.
Wine and cheese. They just go together.
There’s something about how the wine brings out the flavor in the cheese, like a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot does with a nice, big juicy steak. And when I attended my first fondue party at a local cheese shop here in Madison, they served a delicious bottle of Sauvignon Blanc with their swiss and gruyere fondue and it was heaven on earth. Heaven on earth I tell you. It was just so delicious.
Since then, I always have to have some great tasting wine when I am nibbling on cheese. Or even a grilled cheese sandwich.
I mean, it is National Grilled Cheese Month after all!! Can I tell you how excited I am for this month and for today?! We are partnering with 
Now, I have to give credit to this awesome “how to make a grilled cheese sandwich” post from 
And when it comes to cheese and a grilled cheese sandwich, you must grate the cheese. It helps the cheese to melt faster and evenly.
Once you have everything prepped, you are ready to begin! Like I stated earlier, I wanted to achieve that perfectly toasted, buttery grilled cheese toasted bread, so I buttered my bread slices AND added a tablespoon of butter to my skillet.
Once the butter begins to melt, lay down one slice of buttered bread and top with the freshly grated cheese. Next, cover your pan! If you do this, your cheese will melt perfectly and you’ll also get the “outer crust perfection”. 
Next, butter one side of the second slice of bread and spread 
Your Apple, Prosciutto and Gruyere grilled cheese is ready to be sliced and devoured. Now, this grilled cheese could easily be eaten as is but I like to add a little more sweetness. . so I add a little fig jam, as I am eating the grilled cheese. . which goes very nicely with

I’m ready to have this grilled cheese for breakfast. Oh yum!
Oh yes please — totally drooling over this sandwich Alice!!
I love Granny Smith apples and grilled cheese. Your additions with prosciutto and Dijon make my mouth water!
Apple and gruyere…perfection! Love your tips too!
WOW this looks amazing! What a great sandwich! I want this for lunch today!
What a yummy combo of flavors, Alice! Apples and Gruyere go together perfectly!!!
Oh my gosh your sandwich looks incredible!! I love apples and prosciutto together!
Apple, Prosciutto and Gruyere is such a great combination. Adding all that delicious butter, spoonsfuls of fig jam and then pairing it with a smooth GFV Sauvignon Blanc makes this a grilled cheese I have to try!
This might be my lunch today. Seriously, that sandwich looks amazing (and the fig jam?! brilliant). Love your gorgeous photography, too.
Thank you so much, Lauren!! 🙂 I hope you give the grilled cheese a try. . it’s fabulous!
Wine and cheese are buddies forevah! Love this gooey sammie. Pinned!
Love this combination! The fruit, the prosciutto and the cheese. Just goes together perfectly!
I could eat this all day long – especially dipped in jam!
Yes!!! loved this with the fig jam. . yummo!!
I am so ready to dive in and try this amazing combination of flavors! Great grilled cheese, Alice!
These are seriously my favorite things! I adore this combination.
Sweet, salty, savory and cheesy. This is by far my favorite type of sandwich!
Thanks so much, Lori!!! I’m totally going to make yours. . love the veggie grilled cheese. . yumm!
I LOVE everything about this, Alice. Just the perfect combination of flavors and textures!
Thanks so much, Brianne!! I’m so excited I get to meet you next month at BlogHer Food!!! 🙂 woot woot!!
Can I invite myself over for dinner? These sound incredible – love those thinly sliced apples!
Thank you Melanie!! 🙂
There is nothing better than a big platter of wine and cheese and all the fixings…best party food ever. I love gruyere cheese, it’s the perfect cheese for melting… Yum!
Oh this looks fantastic. Some of my favorite things in here!
This looks like one amazing grilled cheese! And yes, buttering the pan and both slices of bread definitely seems like the way to go — grilled cheese is not the place to skimp on the butter! I’ve never tried wine with grilled cheese, but now you have me convinced that I need to give it a shot. I love that your recipe essentially creates a classic cheese plate, with the mixture of cheese, fruit, and meat. YUM!!
Thank you so much, Jamie!!
I LOVE your flavor combinations and totally agree that the more butter= best grilled cheese ever! Loved your post:)
I love that you made your grilled cheese with apple, prosciutto and Gruyere…swoon. This looks fabulous!!
Wow, this is a beautiful flavor pairing. I am very curious to try this with Gallo’s sauvignon blanc.
Oh my gosh. I am in heaven… grilled cheese is one of my very favourite things! LOVE the combination here… apple and cheese go together like peas and carrots (well, metaphorically… I think that peas go better with goats cheese or mint myself) and the wine suggestion is divine! Cannot wait to click through the other grilled cheese posts… hugs to you Alice! x
This sweet and salty combo sounds like heaven!
Big fan here of apple slices in grilled cheese! You’d like pear slices in it, too, I predict. LOVELY sandiwch!
Sweet baby cheezus, you’re talking my language girl! This grilled cheese sandwich looks incredible! That’s a perfect buttery crunchy crust and I love the ingredients you used inside. I’m especially down with that smear of fig jam. I learned the trick about covering the pan with a lid about a year ago and ever since, I’ve always had perfectly melted cheese in my sandwiches. You might be a little appalled (or impressed…or both!) at the insane amount of butter I put in my pan. It’s the only way to go. I wish I had a bottle of that wine right now, Alice!
Oh Alice, this is the only way to make a grilled cheese in my opinion . . . I mean GRUYERE? Genius! Definitely preparing this one! Roz
Ok, this is seriously a heavenly combination of ingredients. And the beautiful golden, crisp bread looks to die for!
Awh, thanks Katie!
