Today we’re making this Bacon, Pear + Raspberry Grilled Cheese! WORTH THE POT.

What if I told you I made what is probably the most flavor-packed grilled cheese of my life? I did it for the holiday, of course. It’s sweet and savory and oozing with gooey cheese.

  • whole wheat bread
  • raspberry preserves
  • cooked center cut bacon
  • red pear
  • muenster cheese
  • butter

Prep your ingredients. Slice 1 pear into 8 thin slices. Cook the bacon until crispy and gather the remaining ingredients.

Spread 1-1/2 tablespoons of raspberry preserves on two slices of bread.

Then top with 4 slices of cooked center cut bacon.

Lastly top with 2 slices of muenster cheese.
