Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion thinly sliced
- 2 pears thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon honey
- kosher salt
- pepper
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar grated
- 4 ounces chevre soft goat cheese
- 8 lices Pugliese or other good quality bread
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F degrees.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat. Reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring often, until brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes.
- While onions are cooking, place pear slices in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. brush with a little olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with honey. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.
- To assemble sandwiches, spread softened butter on one side of a slice of bread, and be sure to cover all the way to the edges. Place butter side down. Top with shredded cheese, then onions, then layer with pear slices. On a second piece of bread, spread butter on one side and chevre on the other side. Place chevre side on top of the pears, butter side up.
- Heat a skillet over medium low heat. When hot, place sandwich in pan and cook until cheese starts to melt and outside of bread is golden. Flip and repeat.
Notes
- The exact amounts of cheese, onions, and pears that you put on each slice of bread is up to you, and also will depend on the size of your bread. I ended up using about 1/3 cup shredded cheese, slightly less than an ounce of chevre, three slices of pears and about a tablespoon (maybe slightly more) of caramelized onions per sandwich.
