1/3 cup smoked provolone, shredded
1 small handful of baby arugula
½ medium pear sliced
Put sandwich together and continue to grill until the rest of the cheese is melted, arugula is wilted and pear is warmed through. Place a piece of foil on top and press with the bottom of a smaller skillet if desired.
I will be back tomorrow to finalize Mango Week and announce my very first recipe contest! I hope you’ll stop by!
Pears + Pão Francês = fantastic!!
Can’t wait to read more about your contest tomorrow!! 🙂
wow…that sounds great. the sweetness of the pear and the bitterness of the arugula is a perfect combination!
Well, cheese in almost any form tends to be a go to food for me and there’s something just so appealing about grilled cheese creations. This one sounds yum 🙂
Another thing I’m starting to miss about my home in the States…my panini press! This looks delicious, and will be one of the first panini I try when I get back!
Nice combos.
Such a great idea for a flavor combo – thanks so much for entering the Pageant!
hmm fruit and cheese- meant to be together! And who doesn’t love a toasty sammy? I don’t think anyone will mind this incredible mango week break !
I think I like!!!!!
This weekend I will make it for my 13 year old step daughter…I will let you know how that goes!!!
succulent and tasty!…thanks, Lori!
That sounds delicious, I will definitely have to try!
VeggieGirl – The bread really makes it!
Alison – I find I am loving arugula with all kinds of sweet combos.
Daily Spud – All one has to do is say ‘cheese’ and I’m all in. Except when it comes to pictures. 🙂
Mindy – I know. I’ve been making due with a piece of foil on top and pressing down another pan. Not perfect, but it works!
Sweta – Thanks!
Kathy – You are welcome. I think it is such a great idea. Food and beauty. 😉
Erica – Totally agree. Fruit and cheese go so well together.
coco – Can’t wait to hear what your step daughter thinks. 😉
Emily – It really is good, and simple to make too.
woah! that sounds amazing! i have to try it immediately!
mmmmm…pears and cheese and bread…three of my favorite things:)
Yummy! Smoked provolone matched with pear and arugula sounds like one fabulous grilled cheese sandwich. And that bread? Amazing!
Your sandwiches are so awesome! I haven’t even wrapped my brain around the goodness that is the Roma and now this! I am currently in love w/arugula and once again, this cheese and fruit combo sounds divine. I want to get my hands on that Pão Francês (although I’ll be making some Pão de Queso this weekend, I hope)!
I love the combo of pear and cheese and this grilled cheese sandwich is definitely a winner!
That looks simple and amazing. I like pairing sweet with salty in sandwiches…just today I made a “home-made pickle” sandwich with almond butter. They are so good.
I’m going to try this out…it looks gourmet!
Heather, Caitlin and Jamie – So simple, yet so delicious. I was really pleased with this one. 🙂
Tangled Noodle – Thanks! I am such a sandwich fan so I love playing with ingredients. Hope your bread making went well this weekend!
5 Star – Thanks! It was tasty.
My Year Without – So I’ve heard about pb and pickles. I bet almond butter would be similar. At first it sounds like a strange combo, but I tend to like things that first appear strange. 🙂 I need to try it!
Sounds yummy! I’ve seen Giada do something like this….always wanted to try it! 🙂
