The sharp taste of cheese and the crisp sweetness of an apple go well together. Just slice a Granny Smith apple very thinly and put it on top of your cheese. The difference between sweet and sour will make your taste buds want more.
Grilled cheese with Brie and pears
Brie cheese and ripe pear slices go well together because they both have soft textures and mild tastes. The brie is rich and creamy, so the pear adds a light, crisp touch that goes well with it.
