Brie & Pear Grilled Cheese Sandwich


  • Author: clarawhitmore
  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: serves 2

Description

Sweet meets savory in this upscale twist on grilled cheese. Melty Brie and Gruyère, juicy pear slices, and a touch of honey come together in a buttery, golden crust. It’s simple, sophisticated, and completely crave-worthy.


Ingredients

Scale

46 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature

4 slices bakery-quality bread

68 slices Brie cheese

46 slices firm, ripe pear

Pinch of fresh thyme leaves (per sandwich)

4 slices Gruyère cheese

Honey for drizzling


Instructions

Butter one side of each bread slice generously.

On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer Brie, pear slices, thyme leaves, and Gruyère.

Drizzle lightly with honey, then top with remaining bread slices, buttered side out.

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Slice and serve immediately—warm, gooey, and unforgettable.
