Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 4 ounces goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons fig preserves
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup arugula (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Spread 1 tablespoon of fig preserves evenly on one side of two slices of sourdough bread.

Step 2

Spread 2 ounces of goat cheese evenly on one side of the remaining two slices of sourdough bread.

Step 3

Drizzle half a tablespoon of honey over the goat cheese layer on each sandwich, and add arugula if using.

Step 4

Press the fig preserve slices and goat cheese slices together to form two sandwiches.

Step 5

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt completely.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Repeat with the second sandwich, using the remaining butter.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
