Brie and Pear Grilled Cheese

I fell in love with a panini similar to this at a restaurant in Memphis years ago…. So now I always try to recreate it at my annual grilled cheese party.

Whatcha Need:

• Sourdough bread

• Brie

• Pear (I prefer the red or brown ones)

• Honey

• Arugula

• Butter

Whip it Up:

1. cut Brie in slices (about a centimeter thick)

2. Thinly slice a pear

3. Warm up a pan on medium high heat, add a 1/2 tbs of butter or enough to melt and cover a pan

4. Lay down two slices of sourdough, flip after 30 seconds

5. Top one side with Brie, the other with pears then cover with a lid till the cheese starts to melt *don’t rush this, heaven forbid you burn your bread

6. Remove lid, drizzle one side with honey and a pinch of salt

7. Then close the two slices together and press a little with a spatula, make sure both sides are nice and toasty then remove from heat

8. Separate and add a healthy handful of arugula

9. Done! Dish it up
