A delicious grilled cheese sandwich featuring honey roasted pears, chevre, and caramelized onions.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion thinly sliced
- 2 pears thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon honey
- kosher salt
- pepper
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar grated
- 4 ounces chevre soft goat cheese
- 8 slices Pugliese or other good quality bread
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F degrees.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat. Reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring often, until brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes.
- While onions are cooking, place pear slices in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Brush with a little olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with honey. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.
- To assemble sandwiches, spread softened butter on one side of a slice of bread, and be sure to cover all the way to the edges. Place butter side down. Top with shredded cheese, then onions, then layer with pear slices. On a second piece of bread, spread butter on one side and chevre on the other side. Place chevre side on top of the pears, butter side up.
- Heat a skillet over medium low heat. When hot, place sandwich in pan and cook until cheese starts to melt and outside of bread is golden. Flip and repeat.
Notes
The exact amounts of cheese, onions, and pears that you put on each slice of bread is up to you, and also will depend on the size of your bread.
