PB&Pear Panini

I was at the farmer's market last weekend when I saw these delicious looking Bartlet pears.  I'm really not the type of person to do much with fruit other than simply eating it - I feel like most cooking methods do little to enhance the taste of the fruit and sometimes even take away from it.  Nonetheless, I had a peanut butter craving and decided to be a little creative. 

Since this is just a sandwich, I won't bore you with too many cooking details, but here are the basic steps involved:

I used my mandolin to slice the pears.  The whole pear easily could have made 3 or 4 paninis but I just snacked on the rest while the panini press was doing it's magic.

 Now, simply spread some peanut butter on pita or any bread you have lying around, arrange the pear slices and press until hot and gooey.

Slice and Enjoy!

This sandwich would be great with various other fruits, jam, honey, Nutella, etc.  Be creative, and experiment and you are bound to make something delicious.
