The smoky flavor of Gouda cheese makes you think these sandwiches were actually grilled on a barbecue, instead of inside on a griddle.

Ready in: 26 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 8 slices pumpernickel bread
• 6 ounces shredded smoked Gouda cheese
• 1 Anjou pear, quartered and thinly sliced, lengthwise

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 6 mins

1. Place 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet and set over medium heat. Cook onion in melted butter for about 15 minutes, sprinkling with salt and pepper to taste, until browned.

2. Preheat a griddle pan over medium heat. Build sandwiches with cheese, onion, and pear in each.

3. Place a tablespoon of butter on the griddle. When butter melts, set sandwiches on the griddle and cook for about 6 minutes, flipping midway through cooking time, until browned and melty. Serve.
