It is time to harvest the pears from two trees in our yard. That can only mean one thing. It is time for pear tarts, pear Danish, pear butter, pear salad, and grilled cheese sandwiches with pears.
My seasonal Grilled Cheese with Pear uses multigrain bread, Brie, maple bacon, arugula, and fresh sliced pears.
The maple bacon is delicious. If you choose to use maple bacon, be aware that it burns easily due to the maple syrup.
This rustic seeded, multi-grain bread held up well to the juicy pears and soft cheese in this grilled cheese with pear.
The bitterness of the arugula worked well to balance out the sweet things going on in this sandwich. Whether you get your pears from your own trees or the market, make this sandwich. Since you have pears make my Rustic Pear Tart too. Autumn is not the same without it!
