Raisin Walnut Toast with Sharp Cheddar, Pears & Honey
Lately, I have been around the house a lot and have taken to grazing all day long. Little nibbles of delicious flavors keep me going from hour to hour.
One of my latest food discoveries has been Red Anjou pears. They have been arriving in my weekly, organic produce delivery and come from this farm in Washington. Althought I haven’t made it yet, their site has a nice looking red pear pie recipe with dried apricots, pecans and cinnamon.
I read that the Red Anjou isn’t much different than its yellow/green counterpart but I would disagree. The texture seems nicer and maybe it is just the beautiful color that has me excited but I swear they taste better!
For this snack, use as sharp a cheddar cheese as you can find sliced very thin between the pears and the toast. It is a fabulous juxtoposition to the sweetness of the raisins, pears and honey. Of course, you could make a number of variations of this using different breads, apples or pear varieties.
Toast your bread. Place thin slices of cheddar on the toast and let them melt slightly. Top with thin pear slices and drizzle with honey. mmmm…..

Yes! I was just blogging about how hard it is to find food with excellent lunch potential, so coming across this post feels fated. As soon as I purchase some fresh pears, I’ll be trying this one. Can’t wait.

yum this looks like a mighty fine lunch. my least favorite thing about working in midtown (i used to freelance from home) is having to go out to lunch every day! seems like an odd thing to complain about but i am all about a light lunch of toast and cheese with an apple or pear, that sort of thing. how clever to slice the pear right on top!

I agree! I think the red anjous are definitely superior.

Is that to say you’re wandering around the house, trying to find things to keep your mind off that fact that the baby just won’t come ALREADY?? I had a dream last night that I was waiting, waiting, waiting (though in reality I had the baby 8+ months ago). I was in the hospital, and kept telling the nurse I had to go home to turn over the meat that was marinating in the fridge. I figured it wouldn’t matter if I left the hospital, since the baby wasn’t budging….
Eat all the clever, wonderful things with honey now, because for the next few months you’ll be relying on the kindness of strangers. And family. And the freezer. And you’ll likely just eat that pear whole. Which isn’t a bad thing

[…] I am still hot on the open-faced sandwich kick. Partly, I am trying to reduce the carbs and hopefully in turn reduce a few pounds. Also, I have found a little cheese on top and a short stint in the broiler makes such a yummy sandwich. […]
