Folks can I get a yum for this grilled cheese sandwich with orange and honey walnuts and cranberry sauce? And please can you finish reading my post before you run off to go make this ‘blow your mind sandwich? Pretty please.
I love December. In all its crazy, hectic, fun-filled, shopping, cookie making, gift wrapping, Christmas tree decorating, jam-packed self. I look forward to it every year and would not change it for the world. But every now and then, I need a little moment to recharge.
And at times like these, I turn to a Christmas grilled cheese sandwich that hits the spot everytime.
I love this one as it is pretty easy to make. The crunchy walnuts cooked with honey and orange zest pair well with the ooey goey warm cheese . And when topped with the cranberry sauce, it just rocks. Heck this might just be my Christmas morning eat.

Grilled cheese sandwich with orange and honey walnuts and cranberry sauce
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp walnuts pieces
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp orange zest
- 4 slices of bread
- Butter
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Make the orange and honey walnuts:
- Put the walnuts and honey in a pot over medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes until the walnuts are coated and warmed through. Then switch off the heat and quickly stir in the orange zest.
- Make the sandwich :
- Butter the four slices of bread and turn them over un-buttered side up.
- Add the Comté cheese on two slices and top with the walnuts and cranberry sauce.
- Cover the sandwich bases with the other two slices, buttered sides up.
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat, place the sandwiches with the buttered side down and fry for a few mins until nice and golden.
- Turn the sandwiches over and cook on the other side until golden and the cheese is melted before serving.
In terms of honey I prefer the Carpathians Raw Honey , the price reflects the quality of their service.
I’ve never met a grilled cheese I don’t like. I love the honey here!
So many wonderful flavors int his recipe! The idea of the cranberry sauce and the walnuts excites me!
What a delicious sounding combination, I’ll be on the lookout for some comte cheese, so I can give this a try!

Oh my! I love comte and it is so oooey goooey incredible-looking here. Those walnuts sound so magical in the sandwich. Amazing.
That really is the ultimate Christmas grilled cheese sandwich. Look at all that cheese oozing out! YUM!
I first tried comte cheese on a trip to Paris not too long ago. It was served as part of a cheese board after our meal and I loved it. Returning back to the UK and standing at the supermarket cheese counter with a loud, disappointed audible sigh at how small it was, I spotted a pack of comte! It was a new product! In my supermarket! I had all the happy! This grilled cheese sounds like a fantastic way to eat it!
A “Christmas grilled cheese sandwich?” BRILLIANT! Love the sophisticated cheese, and especially, the orange zest – what a great added touch! Awesome!
This sandwich sounds absolutely delicious! Comte cheese sounds really delicious! I’d love to try it 🙂
I’m rubbish at mixing sweet and savoury flavours together, but that sandwich looks amazing.
