How to make a bourbon roasted Bosc pear and brie grilled cheese sandwich

brie cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Goat cheese provides a tangy flavor while being lower in fat.

sourdough bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

bourbon

🥗Healthier: apple cider

💰Cheaper: vanilla extract

Apple cider adds sweetness without alcohol.

Slice the Bosc pears into thin wedges.

In a bowl, combine the sliced pears with bourbon.

Add the pear mixture to a skillet and cook until the pears are tender and caramelized.

Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Layer brie cheese on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.

Top with the caramelized pears.

Season with salt to taste.

Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.

Heat the skillet and place the sandwich in the skillet.
