30 Gourmet Sandwiches #6: Grilled Cheese with Pears

Simple grilled cheese, but with an fruity twist. I'm already interested.


Sandwich bread is from the freezer but it can defrost while it grills. We got a basic british pear (conference variety?), i got you covered for a good sharp cheddar cheese, and we got a bit of butter. Actually.. can you believe this is the first sandwich recipe with butter!?


Half a pear should do. You could use less, I suppose.


Buttering BOTH SIDES? Wait where do I put this down? I guess ill just place it on the grill and hurry up and assemble the sandwich!


Big layer of pear, and then good coverage of sliced cheese.


It got real messy in there! These things are a real bastard to clean this is why they always end up in the back of the cupboards.


*****

This rules. Crispy, chewy, plenty cheesy (despite looking like it all oozed out of the sides) and the pears have lightly cooked to a nice crisp-but-not-raw and gently sweet filling. The fruity flavour takes place of a sauce like chutney or mustard so it makes a simple and fun variation to a classic. A great vegetarian alternative if everyone else if having ham and cheese.
