Caramelized pear and plum grilled cheese

I had some pear and plum left over since baby ate just a few slices of it and I decided to make something out of it. I caramelized it and used it in grilled cheese. It was an extremely tasty impromptu recipe ! 

Ingredients 

Bread - 2 slices 

Butter - 2 tbsp  ( 1 tbsp extra )

Cheese ( I used white cheddar with herbs de Provence) - 5 slices ( this was a block cheese so cut into a few slices , if using sliced deli cheese would use 2 slices ) 

Pear - 1/2 cut into small cubes 

Plum - 1/2 cut into small cubes 

Brown sugar - 1 tbsp 

Cinnamon - pinch

Nutmeg - pinch 

Instructions 

1. Place a saucepan on medium heat and add two tablespoons of butter , now add the cubed pear and plum and sauté and then add the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sauté well for 5-6 minutes until it is caramelized and take off the stove and set aside 

2. Now take the pieces of bread and butter one side of each slice. 

3. Now arrange the slices of cheese on the bread and spread the caramelized fruits on top.

4. Place the bread on a sauce pan on medium heat and let it cook for a minute and then flip over and let it cook for another minute or longer until cheese is melted and the outside is golden brown 

5. Grilled cheese is now ready to serve

Lettuce - shredded
