[edit] Ingredients
- sourdough bread, sliced from the center of a round loaf
- strong blue cheese (Roquefort, Maytag, Stilton, Cabrales, etc.)
- 1 pear (the gritty D'Anjou holds up better than the crisp Bosc)
- several cloves of garlic
- several tablespoons of butter
[edit] Preparation
[edit] Candied pear
- Core and slice pear into 1/8" thick pieces the length of the fruit
- Saute fruit in a few teaspoons of butter in a medium saucepan - remove when it is just cooked through
- Leave the saucepan over medium heat with another few teaspoons of butter
[edit] Sandwich
- Toast or broil sliced sourdough to preferred color and rub raw garlic clove over toasted surface of bread
- Crumble or slice blue cheese onto bread - a little goes a long way
- Complete assembly with a few slices of sauteed pear
- Saute each side of sandwich until golden brown and the cheese melts
[edit] Dirty Leon variation
Substitute pumpernickel bread and add red onion sauteed until completely reduced and just beginning to caramelize.
