BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND PEAR BRUNCH SANDWICHES
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.

Steps:
- Place the pear slices in a skillet, and pour in the apple juice. Cook over medium heat until the pears are soft, about 5 minutes. Drain pears and reserve; discard juice.
- Meanwhile, place the bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
- Preheat the oven broiler.
- Place the focaccia bread slices on a baking sheet. Divide the pear slices evenly among the bread, and top evenly with the bacon, and then with the blue cheese.
- Broil the sandwiches in the preheated broiler until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

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.

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.
