Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons fig preserves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup arugula (optional)
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of fig preserves evenly on one side of two slices of sourdough bread.
Spread 2 ounces of goat cheese evenly on one side of the remaining two slices of sourdough bread.
Drizzle half a tablespoon of honey over the goat cheese layer on each sandwich, and add arugula if using.
Press the fig preserve slices and goat cheese slices together to form two sandwiches.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.
Repeat with the second sandwich, using the remaining butter.
Once both sandwiches are golden brown and the goat cheese is warm and creamy, remove them from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
