Snack Idea: Cheese & Pear Toast

Fruit and cheese is one of my favorite combinations!

I just made this as a quick snack/small meal:

• One ripe pear, thinly sliced
• Low-fat cheddar cheese (I like Cabot)
• Whole grain bread, 1 or 2 slices

Layer cheese and pear slices on bread, then pop it in the toaster oven for approximately 5 minutes.

Yum!  Of course, now i'm thinking that pear could be a great addition to grilled cheese - and less watery than tomato slices...
