The savory green garlic pesto, the rich cheddar cheese, the sweet ripe pears, and the smokey bacon all come together in this gourmet grilled cheese sandwich, which is cooked to perfection for a delicious and decadent meal.
Ingredients: 2 slices of bread. 2 slices of cheddar cheese. 2-3 strips of cooked bacon. 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons of green garlic pesto. 1 tablespoon of butter.
Instructions: Spread green garlic pesto on one side of each bread slice. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the pesto-covered side of one bread slice. Layer cooked bacon strips on top of the cheese. Arrange thinly sliced pear on top of the bacon. Place the second slice of cheddar cheese on top of the pear slices. Top with the other bread slice, pesto side down, to form a sandwich. Butter the outside of the sandwich. Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Cheddar, Bacon and Pear Sandwich with Green Garlic Pesto!
