Ingredients
- 4 oz Goat Cheese (preferably herbed goat cheese for extra flavor)
- 2 slices Bread (sturdy sourdough or whole grain recommended)
- 2 tbsp Honey (can substitute with agave syrup)
- 2 tbsp Butter (or olive oil for a lighter option)
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Heat your skillet over medium heat to prepare for grilling the sandwich. This ensures even cooking and melting of the cheese.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on one slice of bread, then drizzle honey over the cheese for a perfect balance of flavors. Top with the second slice of bread.
- Butter the Sandwich: Butter the outside of the sandwich generously on both sides to promote crisping and browning while grilling.
- Grill One Side: Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet and grill for 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Grill Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes until it becomes equally golden and the cheese inside melts beautifully.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, sweet, and savory combination at its best.
Notes
- Using herbed goat cheese adds a fresh, aromatic twist to the sandwich.
- Opt for sourdough or whole grain bread to avoid sogginess and add texture.
- Butter can be replaced with olive oil for a healthier alternative.
- Agave syrup can replace honey for a different flavor profile and vegan option.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the melty cheese and crispy bread at its peak.
