WW Friendly Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese Sandwich

Prosciutto Pear Blue Cheese Sandwich Recipe Notes
Don't skip heating the pear. I almost did in the name of laziness, but it's the warm pears that elevate this sandwich from good to great.
If you don't like prosciutto or can't get it, I think any high quality deli ham could be substituted.
