Bacon, Pear and Fig Grilled Cheese
Description
Bacon, Pear and Fig Grilled Cheese begins by spreading mayonnaise on one side of each sourdough bread slice and stacking thinly sliced white cheddar, a dollop of fig jam or dried figs, thin pear slices, and cooked, quartered bacon. Another slice of cheese tops the filling before closing the sandwich with the mayo-coated bread facing out. Cooking on a heated griddle or skillet presses the sandwich flat and browns the bread evenly while gently melting the cheese.
The resulting sandwich contrasts crispy toasted bread with sweet, fruity, and savory fillings. The mayonnaise on the bread helps achieve a golden brown crust and adds moistness. This sandwich is well-suited to a hearty lunch or light dinner, offering a mix of textures and flavors that complement each other.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 sourdough bread large slices
- 3-4 ounces White Cheddar Cheese ,thinly sliced into 4-8 slices or shredded
- 3-4 trips Bacon , cooked and cook into quarters
- 1 pear , thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fig jam or thinly sliced dried figs
Instructions
- Slather one side of each piece of bread with mayonnaise. Set plain side up (slathered side down).
- Assemble sandwiches with a piece of cheese, dollop of jam, slices of pear, bacon and another piece of cheese and top piece of bread, mayo side facing out. The cheese slices should be touching the bread on both sides.
- Heat a griddle or skillet to medium heat (325°F for griddle) and add the sandwiches, pressing down to get maximum surface space in contact with the pan and cheese to melt and stick. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bread it lightly browned. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Remove to a cutting board and cut in half with one smooth hack. Serve hot!
