• Place the grill pan on the stove and heat until smoking hot.  Grill the pears carefully on both sides, gently using a pair of tongs to turn them over.  Put pear aside to cool.
• Slice the brie into squares and halve the slices of ham, lengthways.
• Place a slice of ham vertically on the chopping board.  Lay a leaf of rocket on the ham, in the same direction.  Place a slice of grilled pear horizontally on top of this, in the middle of the ham.  Place the brie on the pear and roll up.
