Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears
- 4 slices of bread
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the pears into thin slices.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the pear slices to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
- Preheat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat.
- Take two slices of bread and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Top one slice with a few slices of caramelized pear and two slices of bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread and press gently.
- Place the sandwich on the panini press or in the skillet. If using a skillet, place a heavy object on top of the sandwich to press it down. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from heat and let the sandwich cool for a minute before slicing it in half.
- Repeat steps 6-8 for the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the Pear Panos warm and enjoy!
