A Surprisingly Good Sandwich

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven broiler, or use a toaster oven.
2. 2
   While the bacon is frying, open the sandwich roll. Spread both sides with mustard, then lay some slices of your favorite cheese on both sides. Set on a baking sheet and run under the broiler until melted and somewhat browned. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees.
3. 3
   Peel a pear of your choice, or don't. I don't find the skin objectionable. Stand it on end and cut thin slices from it vertically. Cut enough to cover the roll in one layer on top of the cheese on one side of the roll. Drain a roasted red pepper, then cut it in strips to cover the pears in one layer. When the bacon is done, drain it on a paper towel, and lay it over the pepper. Close the roll.
4. 4
   Wrap the roll in foil. Set it on the baking sheet (you know, just in case). Set it in the oven. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. When done, remove, unwrap, cut in half, and set it on a plate.
5. 5
   It goes well with a decent pale ale and a good book. Eat the rest of the pear for dessert.
