To grill the cheese properly, start by heating your grill to medium-high heat. Next, brush both sides of the cheese with olive oil before placing it on the grill. Cook for around 2 minutes for every side until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a Brie layer on one bread slice. Top with sliced pear and another piece of bread. Press down gently so that everything is evenly distributed. Close up the sandwich using two opposite sides of bread and serve warm!
Ingredients
- Two tablespoons of softened butter
- Two thick slices of French bread
- Six thin slices of Brie cheese, or more to taste
- 12 fresh thyme leaves, or to taste
- One pinch of cracked black pepper
- Six cuts of pear (like Bosc)
- salt to taste
Bearings
- Liberally spread one side of each cut of bread.
- Heat a skillet over medium intensity.
- Place bread cuts spread side down into a hot skillet. Orchestrate Brie cheddar cuts on top of each slice of bread. Sprinkle thyme and break dark pepper over the top.
- Spread pear cuts in a solitary layer over the Brie cheddar on one piece of bread and top with a pinch of salt.
- Flip the bread without pears onto the piece with the pear slices. Continue cooking the sandwich until the cheese and pear are heated through. Also, cheddar is liquefied, 2 to 3 minutes for each side. Transfer to a plate and cut into halves.
