ingredients
- 2 slices challah, from middle of loaf (each about 2 inches thick)
- 3 ounces grated gruyere cheese (about 3/4 c)
- 1⁄4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3⁄4 cup whole milk
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small apple, cored peeled and thinly sliced
directions
- Cut a pocket in each bread slice through the bottom crust, parallel to the cut surfaces. Do not cut through the top crust. Stuff each with half the cheese and a few onion slices.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into a wide, shallow dish. Place stuffed bread into custard. Turn over after about 2 minutes, then let stand until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place half the apples in a single layer and cook 1 minute. Place the stuffed, soaked bread on the apples and cover with the remaining apple slices. Cook 1 minute.
- Cover pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 5 minutes. Uncover pan, increase heat back to medium, and cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn bread over and cook until golden, 3-5 minutes.

This was very good. Bird made this for me, but julienned the apples for a nicer presentation. This is a sweet sandwich, and for this reason, I felt regular white or whole wheat bread would have been better that Challah. Also, the onions were a little strong, so next time I would saute them first before adding them to the sandwich. Thank you for the opportunity to try a tasty and unique sandwich. ~BuddhaReply
