This is a yummy grilled cheese sandwich with melted gouda and sweet pear slices. It comes with a fresh salad of mixed greens, walnuts, and a tangy balsamic dressing. It's a warm, cheesy sandwich with a cool, crunchy salad.

Ingredients

4 cups mixed greens
1 x 8 oz block gouda cheese
2 ripe pears
1/4 cup walnut pieces
8 slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon honey mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

1
Wash and dry the mixed greens and set aside.
2
Slice the gouda cheese into thin pieces.
3
Core the pears and cut them into thin slices.
4
Roughly chop the walnut pieces.
5
Spread honey mustard on one side of each bread slice.
6
Layer half of the bread slices with pear slices and gouda cheese, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with the remaining bread slices, mustard-side in.
7
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
8
Once the butter has melted, add the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Flip the sandwiches, adding another tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Cook until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted, another 3 to 5 minutes.
10
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
11
Add the mixed greens and chopped walnuts to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat evenly.
