Description
A cozy blend of smooth pumpkin puree and melted cheddar nestled between crispy, buttered sourdough slices, with a whisper of thyme. Each bite delivers creamy sweetness, herbal warmth, and toasty crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice and place them butter side down.
- Spread pumpkin puree evenly on the unbuttered sides of both slices.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and chopped thyme over the pumpkin layer.
- Top one slice with cheddar cheese, then place the second slice on top butter side up.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the assembled sandwich in the pan.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Remove the sandwich, let it rest for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, roast your own pumpkin before pureeing.
- Swap sourdough for whole wheat or rye to change up the taste.
- Use a heavy spatula to press the sandwich slightly while grilling.
- Pair with a side of apple chutney or tomato soup for a cozy meal.
