Grilled Raisin Bread, Stilton, and Pear Dessertwich
- Level: Easy
- Total: 14 min
- Prep: 10 min
- Cook: 4 min
- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly (If a ripe pear cannot be found, saute slices in a tablespoon of butter over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until tender. Or use canned pears.)
3 ounces Stilton, sliced or crumbled finely
4 slices raisin bread (ideally, cinnamon raisin)
Directions
- Divide ingredients in half and assemble two pear-and-Stilton "sandwiches".
- Melt butter in a saute pan over medium-low heat.
- When butter is fully melted, place both sandwiches in pan, cover, and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until browned like a conventional grilled-cheese sandwich. Keep a watchful eye on the pan when cooking the dessertwich; raisin bread will begin to burn only moments after it is browned to perfection.
- Remove from pan and slice each sandwich diagonally into 4 triangles. Serve immediately (ideally with Port).
