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.

A rustic cabin under a rich carpet of stars, a weathered bridge over a country stream, delicate pink tendrils of cloud in a twilight sky, and fields of golden wheat in the afternoon sun: The best of Germany’s natural beauty is featured in this free theme for Windows 7.
