Ham, Cheese and Pear Sandwich

You need this sandwich. This sandwich needs you.

Ingredients
1 crusty French baguette, cut lengthwise
thin slices of good ham
thin slices of pear (apple would work well here too)
arugula
cheese (I used brie but Gruyere would be heavenly)
freshly cracked black pepper

How To

Sprinkle with pepper. Place the sandwich under a broiler until the cheese has melted and the ham is slightly toasted.


Press the two sides of the sandwich and slice. Serve warm. One baguette will make enough for two or three people (or one very hungry, very greedy, very happy person.) One last beauty shot:
