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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese on top of one of the bread slices.
Step 4
Arrange the sliced pears evenly over the cheese layer.
Step 5
Drizzle the honey over the pears and sprinkle with thyme leaves if using.
Step 6
Top with the second slice of Swiss cheese and close the sandwich with the remaining piece of bread, butter-side facing up.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the sandwich from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve immediately.
