GRILLED BRIE AND PEAR SANDWICH

This grilled Brie and pear sandwich is dedicated to National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, which happens every April 12, thanks mostly to bored food bloggers and cheese-industry marketing cartels. I'm looking at you, Wisconsin.

Steps:

Combine the first six ingredients and spread onto one side of each of the four slices of bread.
To assemble the two sandwiches: On top of 2 slices of bread, with the mustard-mayo combination side up, layer the ingredients as follows: cheese, ham, pear, cheese - and then top with the remaining slices of bread, with the mustard-mayonnaise side down.
Next, thinly butter the outsides of both sandwiches.
Grill for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, cooking until golden brown. Turn and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

GRILLED CHEESE AND PEAR SANDWICHES

This matches the sharp tang of pumpernickel rye bread with the smooth flavor of pear. You can use other cheeses with this instead of the gouda. I've tried it with feta and blue cheese as well.
