BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND PEAR BRUNCH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the pear slices in a skillet, and pour in the apple juice. Cook over medium heat until the pears are soft, about 5 minutes. Drain pears and reserve; discard juice.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
• Preheat the oven broiler.
• Place the focaccia bread slices on a baking sheet. Divide the pear slices evenly among the bread, and top evenly with the bacon, and then with the blue cheese.
• Broil the sandwiches in the preheated broiler until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
