Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (rustic or sourdough)
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 Pear (ripe, thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
Spread half the butter on one side of each bread slice. Place the slices butter-side-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese on top of one of the bread slices.
Arrange the sliced pears evenly over the cheese layer.
Drizzle the honey over the pears and sprinkle with thyme leaves if using.
Top with the second slice of Swiss cheese and close the sandwich with the remaining piece of bread, butter-side facing up.
Place the sandwich under the broiler and carefully monitor as it cooks. Broil for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip the sandwich over using tongs or a spatula.
Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning, until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the sandwich from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve immediately.
