grilled pear-and-cheese

Mmm... the not-so-unusual combination of fruit + cheese meets a slightly-more-unusual form by being melted into a delicious grilled sandwich. The results? Delicious.

Ingredients:

2 slices sprouted wheat bread (or whatever you've got)

1/2 slice American cheese

1/2 slice Swiss cheese

2 thin slices ripe pear

Assemble sandwich.  Press in Griddler (or George Foreman Grill, or toast in the oven, or heat on a nonstick pan on the stove). Cut in fours and enjoy!

The combination of both American and Swiss cheeses leads to a wonderful flavor profile:  you have the stronger cheese flavor and more melt from the American, and a more subtle taste from the Swiss (which highlights the pear).  Feel free to try out different combinations of cheeses, and if you want more than 2 half-slices, put more! I just like the ratio of bread-to-cheese to be 2-t0-1.
