Recipe

Step 1: Divide ingredients in half and assemble two pear-and-stilton “sandwiches.”

Step 2: Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3: When butter is fully melted, place both sandwiches in pan, cover, and grill for 2 minutes per side, or until browned like a conventional grilled-cheese sandwich.

Step 4: Remove from the pan and slice each sandwich diagonally into 4 triangles. Serve immediately.

Note: Keep a watchful eye on the pan when grilling the dessertwich; raisin bread will begin to burn only moments after it is browned to perfection.
