Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Pear
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 handful Arugula
- 1 tablespoon Chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Wash the pear thoroughly, then slice it into thin, even slices. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of goat cheese evenly across one slice of sourdough bread, and repeat with the second slice.
Drizzle the honey over the goat cheese on one slice of bread.
Layer the pear slices on top of the honey-drizzled goat cheese, slightly overlapping them.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the pear slices.
Add a small handful of arugula on top of the pear and walnut layer.
Place the second slice of bread, goat cheese side down, on top of the arugula to assemble the sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half if desired, and serve immediately.
