BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND PEAR BRUNCH SANDWICHES



Blue Cheese, Bacon and Pear Brunch Sandwiches image

The original idea for this came from a friend. I varied the type of cheese and bread, and added a finishing step to create these tasty little sandwiches. I used low-sodium bacon, however, I think any bacon would work well. Served with a side salad of mixed greens and fresh berries, this makes a great brunch or light supper sandwich.

BACON-BLUE CHEESE SANDWICHES

Onion jam, which is reason enough to try this sandwich, is simple to make (see the recipe for BLAAK Onion Jam at beekman1802.com, which also sells the jam by the jar). Although any blue cheese is delicious here, look for one that's sliceable or crumbly, not gooey. Stilton, Maytag, and Roaring Forties are good choices.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices white or sourdough bread
6 ounces sweet onion jam
6 ounces blue cheese, sliced
6 slices Irish or Canadian bacon, cooked
Unsalted butter, for pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread each of 4 bread slices with 2 tablespoons onion jam. Top each with a quarter of the cheese, 1 1/2 slices bacon, and 1 slice bread.
  • Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons butter on a griddle or in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches in batches, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total, flipping once and adding more butter as needed. Transfer to a baking sheet, and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Cut in halves or quarters, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can make your own by combining crumbled blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and a little bit of lemon juice.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not overcooked.
  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Assemble the sandwiches with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado.

Conclusion:

These Blue Cheese, Bacon, and Pear Brunch Sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or lunch option. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weekend brunch. The combination of sweet pears, salty bacon, and tangy blue cheese is sure to please everyone.
