Ingredients
- 1 medium Pear
- 2 ounces Blue cheese
- 4 slices Bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and slice the pear into thin slices, discarding the core.
Step 2
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Place the pear slices into the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly caramelized, then set aside.
Step 4
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Step 5
On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, layer the caramelized pears, blue cheese crumbles, fresh arugula, and a light drizzle of honey. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Step 7
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese starts to melt.
Step 9
Remove from the heat, let cool for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
