1
Prepare the Poached Pear
If you haven't already, poach the pear in water or a light syrup until tender. Allow to cool, then slice thinly.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread basil pesto on one slice of sourdough bread. Layer with cheddar cheese, prosciutto, and poached pear slices. Top with another slice of sourdough.
3
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and grill the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
4
Serve
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
