.
Havarti & Hot Pepper Cranberry Toasties
Serves 8 as appetizer
.
1 dark or sourdough baguette loaf, sliced into ½” slices
1 jar (361g) Stonewall Kitchen Hot Pepper Cranberry Jelly
2 crisp apples, like gala or fuji, mandolin sliced to ¼” thick
8 slices havarti cheese (or similar, creamy white variety)
Coconut Mayonnaise (or butter)
.
Heat 1 cast iron skillet or pan over low heat. 
Spread 1 side of 4 slices of bread with mayonnaise. Set mayo side down on a cutting board. 
Spread the non-mayo side of the bread with the Hot Pepper Cranberry Jelly.
Layer one slice of cheese on top of the Jelly.
Layer sliced apples on top of the cheese.
Top with another piece of cheese and finish with another slice of bread.
Grill sandwiches, pressing gently, until bottom sides are golden brown (you should barely hear any sound of sizzling as the bread hits the skillet; low and slow is key), about 7 to 9 minutes. 
Spread remaining mayonnaise over top slices of bread and carefully turn sandwiches over. 
Cook until other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, another 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in triangles. Enjoy as appetizer or as a main course.

Instagram post 2191930403618849064_1331827683 #ad Have you ever been stuck on what to bring as an appetizer when you or your friends are gluten free? Whether or not being gluten free is by your own choice or not, options can feel restricting. Well, not any more! @athens_foods just released Gluten Free Phyllo Bites and I am here to confirm they are delicious! They come in 3 different flavors: spinach + cheese, buffalo style chicken, or steak fiesta. .
What’s your first choice?! If you can’t decide, why not bring 1 box of each. With only a few minutes to warm and toast in the oven, it can’t get any easier than this, friends. This is what I like to call “winning”.
