Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cinnamon-raisin bagels split
  • 4 slices fully cooked boneless ham 3 oz each and about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 large firm pear cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 4 oz Swiss cheese sliced
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Broil cut bagel faces 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden; set aside. Mix Dijon and honey; spread on four top halves.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium. Sear ham in two batches 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly browned and 165°F. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Melt butter in skillet; add pears and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, gently turning, until just softened with some browned edges.
  4. Place one warm ham slice on each bottom; divide pears evenly and cover with Swiss. Place filled bottoms on a sheet.
  5. Broil 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts, watching to avoid scorched edges. Close with mustard tops; rest 1 minute before cutting.
