Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Grab your ingredients, it's gonna be yummy!  You'll need some good whole grain bread, raspberry preserves, thinly sliced pear, sliced muenster cheese, and a little cooking spray.  Ready?

 Spread both slices of bread with raspberry jam, pile on the cheese and pear slices, then pop the other slice on top (jam to the inside!).  Spray your warm pan and place your delicious-to-be creation in it.

 Use some top weight to get the sandwich warm enough to melt the cheese, I just use a plate to be simple.

 Flip it over when it's nice and toasted (I'd keep your heat to med-high, so the pear and cheese can warm all the way thru before you incinerate the bread).

Using a spatula, remove sandwich to serving plate and slice in half (well, you don't HAVE to, but it looks so pretty...).  And, EAT! (You probably didn't need me to tell you that ;-)

This sandwich is a healthier version of the Bacon, Pear, and Raspberry Grilled Cheese from the Tasty Kitchen website.  I didn't actually MEAN to make it healthier, per se, I just forgot in the rush to get dinner on the table to add the bacon inside and the butter on the outside.  But 'cha know what?  Everyone liked it, kids included!  So there ya go, forgetting can be healthy for you! Enjoy!
