with spicy pecan butter.
This is delicious - great combinations of flavors. The pecan butter was very interesting. Just toast, toss with salt and cayenne pepper; put in processor until finely chopped then add water to make a nice spreading consistency. That's the only condiment on the sandwich.

The bread is homemade English Muffin bread.

Looks great, Jean. When we do grilled cheese station, apple/cheddar is really popular. Thanks for the butter idea.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Sounds/looks great. Do you use a panini press, or just put a heavy pan on top?

cast iron skillet on top. The darn Panini (Michael Chirello's sp? high priced one
) is stashed away somewhere and I should really get rid of it.
Lorraine, isn't that a neat idea for the pecan spread??

I love the pecan idea. Folks just love those sandwiches. When I get rich, I'm buying us a big ole panini grill.

You know, I have never been able to wrap my brain around apples and cheese? I guess it's part of growing up without cheese and never liking the flavor as a child. I still wouldn't order a cheeseburger or eat yellow cheese plain.

Looks delicious! Jean, I'm curious, why did you choose an English muffin bread over the cinnamon-raisin bread?

When the fruit and cheese trays are out at a party, I'll eat a grape with a cube of cheese, but I've tried cheese on apple pie and it did nothing for me. I didn't dislike it - just didn't see why there was all the fuss.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Because that da-- Maryann has me making so much bread lately, that I don't dare make more!!!
(I had the Engllish muffin bread on hand)
Oh man, sharp cheddar on warm apple pie is Roy's number 1 favorite dessert; but I've never gotten into it either. Shredded Parm over a fruit platter with a little drizzle of Balsamic, now that's a favorite of mine!!

Now the parm and balsamic with fruit makes sense! YUM!
