Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Little sis and myself like to cook. We like to try different foods (within reason of course; you won’t find us trying a raw, still beating cobra’s heart)

…any way, a while back we were watching the Food Network show,”Throw Down With Bobby Flay”, and his challenge for that day was to come up with a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. He did. How won the challenge.

However, we thought we could improve this so-called gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. And I think we have.

Here’s the recipe:

Portions are for one sandwich

3 or 4 slices of Goat cheese

3 or 4 slices of ‘not too thinly sliced’ pear

Artisan bread of your choice (if you like a hard crust then feel free, it’s your sandwich)

bacon

butter (real butter tastes best)

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.
