Open-Faced Apple Shallot Sandwich

Preheat oven to broil setting. Line a baking sheet with foil if desired and spray with cooking spray.

Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook shallots, stirring continuously, until shallots begin to soften and caramelize, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place bread in skillet to soak up any butter and juices left over from the shallots. Transfer bread, wet side down, to prepared baking sheet. Top each slice of bread with sliced apples. Then layer 1 ounce cheese. Lastly, evenly divide shallots between sandwiches.

Broil for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
