Foodie Friday! Grilled Ham & Cheese with Pear

Grilled Ham & Cheese with Pear

This Foodie Friday we’re putting a spin on an old favourite – Grilled Ham & Cheese! Adding fruit makes it healthy right? So we’re proposing the grilled ham & cheese sandwich with pear! It may seem like a strange combination at first, but trust us – the salty taste of the cheese and ham combined with the sweet taste of the pear is a match made in heaven!

 

Total Time: Less than 30 minsGrilled Ham & Cheese with Pears

Serves: 2 (2 Sandwiches)

 

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sandwich bread
  • 250 grams cheese (we love Woodside Cheese Wrights!)
  • 1 pear, thinly sliced
  • 250 grams deli ham, thinly sliced
  • Butter

 

Instructions

  1. Layer 4 slices of sandwich bread with about 250 grams of melting cheese, 1 thinly sliced pear, and 250 grams of thinly sliced deli ham; top each with bread.
  2. Heat a large fry pan over medium heat.
  3. Spread the outside of both bread slices with butter.
  4. Cook sandwiches in batches (if necessary) until golden and cheese is melted, flipping once, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Pear-Mojito-Feature

Prep time: 5 minutes

Serves: 4

 

Ingredients

  • 2 cup peeled and chopped Packham Pears
    (available from Paracombe Premium Perry market stalls!) 
  • ¾ cup fresh mint leaves (about 5-7 mint leaves per drink)

  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 5 ounces good quality white rum or vodka
  • 6 cups club soda

 

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped pears, mint leaves, agave nectar, and lime juice in the bottom of your pitcher (you can also make this in individual glasses. This recipe is for four glasses, so just quarter the recipe for one glass) and muddle the ingredients to combine the flavors.
  2. Pour in liquor and club soda and stir slowly to combine.
  3. Pour over ice and serve! Top with more fresh mint or lime wedges.
  4. Enjoy!
