Grilled Raisin Bread Stilton And Pear Dessertwich Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the pear quarters into thin slices and toss in a bowl with the lime juice to help protect their natural colour. Blend the crème fraîche with half the stilton, ginger syrup to taste, and enough water (3-4 tbsp) to give a smooth, thick coating consistency. (Don't add too much water or it may separate.)
• Scatter the pear slices over six serving plates and follow with the walnuts, dates and remaining cheese. Can be prepared to this stage up to an hour ahead.
• Drizzle each salad with a little of the dressing and some walnut oil. Season with a grinding of pepper - you shouldn't need salt, as the cheese is salty. Mix the salad leaves and watercress very lightly with just a bit more dressing - some leaves should be touched by the dressing, some untouched. Gently pile the leaves on top of each salad.

Steps:

• Making the bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granola, baking powder, sugar, salt, and spices.
• Cream together the butter and brown sugar, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each one. Alternate adding the flour and milk, in 3 additions, mixing just to incorporate after each addition. Fold in the pears and nuts, if using.
• Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
• Remove from pan and cool to room temperature.
• Make the icing: In a small bowl combine all the ingredients until smooth.
• Spread over the top of the cooled bread.
• Enjoy. Makes a great breakfast.

Steps:

• Spread each bread slice with the softened butter. Sprinkle the pear slices with the lemon juice. Place half of the pear slices in a single layer on a slice of the bread. Top with half of the crumbled cheese and a second bread slice. Repeat, using the remaining pear slices, cheese and bread.

Steps:

• Place cheese on top of one slice of bread and then cover with the other slice.
• Lightly butter outer sides of both slices of bread.
• Grill at medium heat in a frying pan until light brown.
• Turn and grill the other side.
• Serve with corn syrup. (if you prefer not to use it that is fine, it will still be good!).
• Enjoy!
