Cash Store's Grilled Ham, Brie & Pear Sandwich
"I had this at The Davenport Cash store, which is north of Santa Cruz, CA. While everyone's dish was good, they all wanted bites of mine! Luckily it was easy to duplicate at home. I've used other breads, but I think a quality white sandwich bread best lets the flavor shine through. I've also baked several (at about 400 degrees, til golden browned) and then cut into quarters for appetizers at a brunch."

Soooo good! I love treating myself at home, with a gourmet sandwich for lunch! I'd be proud to serve this to friends and family! I enjoyed the salty ham, tempered with the sweet, crispy pear and the oozing goodness of brie! I did use Hawaiian bread, as it is what I had on hand....WOW...10 stars in my book! Wish I'd thought of it, but so glad I found this...going in my Best of 2011! Thanks so much for sharing, DeeCooks! -
Yum! The kids even liked it. I used very creamy brie, so I left out the mayo. I also used a small loaf of fresh multigrain bread instead of white. I did not have any pears, so I used apples instead. You could modify this sandwich any way that suits you fancy. They made great little appetizers. -
Had this for breakfast today- it was yummy! I was afraid it would be hard to flip over because of the pears, so I used my George Foreman grill. I loved the combination of flavors- this recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks Dee! -
My 14 year old and I made these for lunch on Sunday and he gave them 2 thumbs up (which is 5 stars). Very easy to do and I love how the brie oozed over the ham and pears. Yummy!! Made for 1-2-3 Tag.

If I weren't a teacher, I'd be a chef. I love to cook, grew up cooking, had a fireman chef for a dad, and have spent most of my free time with cookbooks, food, entertaining, classes, study, and luckily I'm in one of the best food areas in the world! But...teaching is the absolute best job in the world. Don't tell anyone, but it's more like fun and you never get bored.
My pet peeve is when people spell DEFINITELY wrong. I DEFINITELY don't want to read more reviews with DEFINITELY spelled wrong. But hey, I'm an English teacher :). My other pet peeve, food-wise, is "cream of whatever" soup. I think my mom OD'd us all on it when I was growing up.
My biggest challenge in cooking was trying to learn FAST food. At an "older" age, I married, had a baby and have had to learn a new way to cook! No more leisurely hours to fix dinner for friends or an hour to put something together for me....! My daughter is seven now, opinionated, and it's a real challenge. Luckily she likes almost everything. And so does my sweetie. I loved seeing her horrified face at her first abalone fresh from the ocean (my husband dives for them occasionally...oh man, nothing better...) But she ate them and then slurped down some oysters!!!
