Grilled Pear & Blue Cheese Sandwich

By garciamoss

Throw the pear, blue cheese and arugula you're used to seeing in a salad between two slices of country bread with a schmear of Dijon, and you've got a grilled sandwich you won't soon forget!

Ingredients

• 2 tsp honey Dijon mustard
• 2 slices country wheat or whole-wheat bread, divided
• 1/2 oz low-fat blue cheese, sliced
• 1/2 Anjou pear, cored and sliced
• 1/2 cup baby arugula leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Spread Dijon on 1 slice of bread. Add cheese, pear and arugula. Top with remaining slice of bread. Place sandwich in a hot panini press and grill until cheese melts and begins to bubble and bread is crisp, about 3 minutes. (NOTE: Alternatively, toast sandwich in a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, flipping once.)
