Ingredients

  • 4 slices gluten free bread
  • 1 pear
  • 4 oz smoked gouda
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1/4 tbsp thyme
  • 1/4 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Slice pear and gouda into thin slices
  • Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the pear slices for about 5 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice golden brown color
  • Toast bread under the broiler. I generally use frozen bread right out of the freezer and 2 1/2 minutes is about the right amount of time for this. If your bread is not frozen, 1 1/2 minutes should be enough time.
  • Flip the bread over and add cream cheese, smoked gouda, and pear slices in that order. Toast bread for another 2 additional minutes under the broiler
  • Remove toast from the broiler and top with thyme
