Grilled Brie, Ham & Pear Sandwich
Although I enjoy cooking a lot and even more because of Club Foody, I allow myself to be lazy here and there. That’s right! All home cooks deserve a break and I sure do. When these lethargic days happen, I still want to enjoy a beautiful meal with flavor but without all the hustle and bustle. What comes to mind is a sandwich…
I’ve posted many amazing sandwich recipes like my Mexican Chicken Sub, French Dip with au Jus, Croque-monsieur Montréal Style, Club Sandwich with Chipotle Mayo, Shrimp Salad Sandwich, and more just to name a few. Here’s another great recipe I’m sure you’ll enjoy… my Grilled Brie, Ham & Pear Sandwich!
Wow! This is a mouthwatering meal! The combination of ingredients not only gives uniqueness but also a burst of flavor in your mouth! I know… pear in a sandwich is not typical but I’m telling you, this sandwich will blow your mind! To make it even more savory, I use an ingredient that subtly makes this Brie, Ham & Pear Sandwich recipe even more interesting… my Pomegranate Molasses! Without taking center stage, it still wraps everything up so deliciously!
To clean up my pear, I use a melon baller aka called a Parisienne scoop. I love this little kitchen tool! Besides scooping the flesh from fruit or making small ice cream scoops, there are many other great uses for it. Here are a few ideas you might want to take this little guy out of your drawer for.
– Coring pears, quince and apples
– Removing the seeds from tomatoes or hollowing out produce when stuffing mushrooms, Zucchinis, cucumbers, winter squash, Potatoes, watermelon, etc.
– Stuffing cupcakes
– Cleaning up a pineapple by removing those brown spots/eyes a bit easier
– Hulling Strawberries
– Removing strands from artichokes
– Pitting fruits such as peaches, apricots, nectarines, and plums
– Shaping truffles by scooping up chocolate ganache
– Carving pumpkins
– Evenly portioning mini meatballs for your next soirée or making cookies for your kids
This summer you don’t have to sweat bullets to make a scrumptious meal. In less than 15 minutes, you can have an incredible mouthwatering meal ready to be enjoyed. You definitely have to put this Grilled Brie, Ham & Pear Sandwich recipe on the list for those lazy days when you don’t feel like cooking…

- 1 large Bosc pear, washed
- 6 slices sourdough, ciabatta or French bread

- Generously spread mustard on the other bread slices and place face down on the lettuce. Spread butter on one side only.
