Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese Sandwiches

Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese Sandwiches

When I made these, I only made one sandwich at a time and I amended the process somewhat.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices 100% multigrain bread

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

  • 3 cups arugula

  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

  • 1 ripe pear, cored and thinly sliced

  • 2 ounces blue cheese, sliced

Directions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Melt butter in a pan large enough to hold two slices of bread. Grill for approximately three minutes or until one side is golden.
  • Combine arugula and shallot in a medium bowl. Drizzle arugula mixture with oil and vinegar; sprinkle with pepper. Toss well to coat. Divide arugula mixture evenly among bread slices, buttered side down; top evenly with prosciutto. Divide pear slices and cheese evenly among sandwiches; top each sandwich with 1 bread slice, buttered side up.
