Try out this pregnancy-friendly Pear and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich from our friends at Parents Magazine!
To make:
Separate the two sides of a whole wheat English muffin. Place 1/2 of a large pear, sliced, on one half and top with a 1-ounce slice of cheddar cheese. Put both halves under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the top browns and the cheese is melted. Sandwich the two halves together. Serve with the remaining half of the pear spread with 2 teaspoons almond butter.
