In honor of National Grilled Cheese Month, I’m posting a different grilled cheese sandwich every single day through the month of April. You’re welcome.
I think it’s clear by now that I like grilled cheeses with a spoonful of sugar. You can candy coat your sammich with honey, jam, brown sugar, and best of all, fruit. If you start with a ripe, tender pear, the fruit will melt right along with the cheese for a soft and luscious, salty-sweet, flavor-packed filling between two slices of golden, bitter beer bread.
I’m really going to miss National Grilled Cheese Month.

Nummy num num! That looks divine! My daughter has some pears she bought to make a recipe using marscapone (sp?) cheese. HOWEVER, I may us that to make a samwhich tomorrow for lunch. Do you think she would kill me? She is 16, so technically everything in the fridge is mine. I bought it and all. Yes, she is over-ruled. Pear and Marscapone Grilled Cheese…can’t wait for lunch!!
~joy!
