2 tablespoons very finely chopped pecans

2 ripe pears, cored and thinly sliced, patted dry

# Extra Tips:
01 -
If honey-pecan cream cheese is unavailable, use plain whipped cream cheese mixed with honey and finely chopped pecans.
02 -
Use ripe but firm pears like Bosc or Bartlett; avoid canned pears as they are too soft.
03 -
To prevent sogginess, pat pear slices dry and spread cream cheese on both slices to form a moisture barrier.
04 -
Use a sharp Chef’s knife and clean it between cuts for neat sandwich edges.
