Pear Grilled Cheese
Easy brie and pear grilled cheese sandwich.
Take your grilled cheese game to the next level with this brie and pear grilled cheese! Layered with crisp pear, creamy brie, sweet honey, and zesty arugula, this simple sandwich is the perfect combination of flavours.
I opted to use a multigrain bread for this grilled cheese simply because it’s what I had on hand, however, sourdough, French bread, and brioche would all work particularly well. For the best results, ensure that you use a ripe pear to add a natural touch of sweetness while adding a source of fibre at the same time.
