Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rustic bread
- 1 large Ripe pear
- 4 tablespoons Creamy goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 handful Arugula (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by slicing the pear into thin, even slices. Remove the core and seeds, but leave the skin on for added texture.
2. Lay out the slices of rustic bread and spread 1 tablespoon of creamy goat cheese on one side of each slice.
3. Arrange the pear slices evenly on top of the goat cheese on two of the bread slices.
4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the pear slices on each sandwich. If desired, add a handful of arugula for a peppery contrast to the sweetness.
5. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, goat cheese side down, to form two sandwiches.
6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, carefully place one sandwich in the skillet.
7. Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding the remaining butter to the skillet if needed.
8. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
