Original Recipe Yield 2 sandwiches
 

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 6 slices ham
  • 1 pear, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 dashes ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon light margarine (such as I Can't Believe It's Not Butter - Light ®)

Directions

  1. Spread 2 slices of bread with the mustard. Layer each with 3 slices of ham, half of the pear slices, a dash of pepper, and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining bread. Lightly spread margarine on the outer sides of each sandwich.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
