Plowman’s Toast

By bakers_delight85

Ingredients

• 1 thick slice of peasant or sourdough bread
• A few leaves of spinach, watercress, or arugula
• 1 small ripe pear, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese
• Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F or use a toaster oven.
Toast the bread. Be ever so English: do remove the crusts.
Arrange the leaves on the toast and layer with the slices of pear and peels of cheese (use a vegetable peeler on the cold cheese). Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper.
Pop into the oven for several minutes, or until the cheese has begun to melt.
Serve warm.
