Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 oz Goat Cheese (herbed goat cheese recommended for extra flavor)
  • 2 slices Bread (sturdy sourdough or whole grain preferred)
  • 2 tbsp Honey (agave syrup can be substituted)
  • 2 tbsp Butter (olive oil can be used as a lighter alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat your skillet over medium heat to prepare for grilling your sandwich to a perfect golden crisp.
  2. Assemble Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of goat cheese evenly on one slice of bread. Drizzle honey over the goat cheese to add a touch of sweetness. Then top with the second bread slice to form the sandwich.
  3. Butter the Outside: Spread butter on the exterior sides of the sandwich liberally to ensure a rich, golden crust when grilled.
  4. Grill First Side: Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Grill for 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese starts to soften.
  5. Flip and Grill Second Side: Carefully flip the sandwich and continue grilling for another 3-5 minutes until the other side is equally golden and the goat cheese has melted nicely.
  6. Serve: Remove the grilled sandwich from heat, slice it in half to reveal the gooey center, and serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Use herbed goat cheese to add a depth of flavor.
  • Sourdough or whole grain bread holds up best to the grilling process without becoming soggy.
  • Substitute honey with agave syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Olive oil is a lighter alternative to butter but may slightly alter the sandwich’s traditional taste.
  • Serve hot to enjoy the contrast of crispy bread and creamy cheese.
