Grilled Ham and Cheese with Pears

Grilled Ham and Cheese with Pears

Pears come in more than 5,000 varieties. Choose ones that are firm, without blemishes and with stems attached. The pears at the supermarket have often spent a few months in cool storage, so they are usually a few days from being fully ripe.
