Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Bacon and Pear
0 Likes
Total Time:
Ultimate grilled cheese: French bread, crispy bacon, sweet pear, sharp cheddar.
Ingredients:
  • French or Italian loaf bread, sliced
  • Bacon, cooked
  • Bartlett pear
  • Sharp white cheddar cheese (high quality)
  • Butter, softened and spreadable
Instructions:
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Layer a bread slice, cheese, pear slices, bacon, and another bread slice to make the sandwich. Spread butter on top of the sandwich.
  • For perfectly crispy toast: Lay the sandwich on the sizzling skillet with the buttered side facing down. Spread butter on the top side. Cook for one minute, then flip with a metal spatula.
  • Apply pressure with a spatula or second pan while sandwich cooks: While cooking the sandwich on the other side, gently press down on it with a spatula. Alternatively, recreate a panini press by heating a smaller cast iron pan on another burner and using it to press down on the sandwich. The sandwich is complete when both sides are toasted and the cheese is gooey. Cut in half and serve.
