Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Leave a reply
-A Re-post from 123beta 4-10-2010 (parts shamelessly stolen from Bobby Flay)-
The recipe: (Portions are for one sandwich)
-Ingredients-
*3 or 4 slices of Goat cheese
*3 or 4 slices of ‘not too thinly sliced’ pear (with skin)
*Artisan bread of your choice (if you like a hard crust then feel free)
*bacon
*butter (real butter tastes best-just ask Paula Deen)
Butter two slices of bread. Place one slice of buttered bread in skillet or griddle butter side facing out. Layer your ingredients: cheese, bacon, pear, cheese. Place other slice of buttered bread on top. Grill/toast sandwich on both sides until cheese starts to melt and bread is toasted. It won’t take long.
Serve with chips and a Claussen pickle. Or whatever you like, after all, it’s your sandwich.
