Pear Bacon and Brie Grilled Cheese
"Described as sweet, salty and cheesy. What could be better? Ok, time for those elastic waist pants... From Running to the Kitchen. Note: I find mayo browns nicer and more evenly than butter, so I always use it instead for grilled cheese sandwiches."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Melt butter, add onions and rosemary. Cook, stirring only a few times until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Butter (or spread mayo)on one side of each piece of bread. Lay half the cheese on the non-buttered side of one slice of bread. Add half the caramelized onions on top of the cheese. Add the pear slices on top of the onions.
Step 3
Add the remaining cheese slices and then the bacon and remaining onions. Top with remaining slice of bread, leaving the buttered side up.
Step 4
Place the sandwich in a large skillet over medium-high heat, press down firmly with a spatula or heavy object to help brown the bread and melt the cheese. Cook on one side for about 3 minutes, flip and do the same on the other side.
Step 5
Slice in half and serve warm.
