Apricot Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I think the best grilled cheese sandwiches start in a pan and finish in the oven, yielding maximum textural complexity: crispy exterior and melty, melty interior. This sandwich is a study in contrasts, pairing the decadence of a fatty Brie, the austere graininess of true pumpernickel, and just enough apricot tutti-frutti to keep it festive. And as if that weren’t enough, the color combo makes this sandwich a triple threat—visually appealing, contrasting textures, and tasty AF.
