4 slices raisin brioche 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted 4 ounces firm but mild blue cheese, such as bleu des Basques, crumbled 1 pear, slightly under-ripe, cored and thinly sliced Chestnut honey for drizzling, optional

Step 1 Heat a cast-iron pan or griddle over low heat. Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter.

Step 2 Spread half of the cheese evenly over the unbuttered side of two slices of the bread. Place a single layer of the pear slices over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Place the remaining bread on top of each sandwich, buttered-side up.

Step 3With a spatula, place one of the sandwiches into the heated pan and weight it with a second heavy pan or a steak weight. (If your pan is large enough, cook both sandwiches; otherwise, cook them one at a time.) Cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, weight it with the pan or steak weight, and cook until golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4Remove the sandwich to a cutting board and cut it in half or quarters. Serve immediately with a drizzle of chestnut honey, if desired, on the plate.
