Ingredients
Scale
For the Sandwich
- 4 oz goat cheese (herbed goat cheese recommended for extra flavor)
- 2 slices sturdy sourdough or whole grain bread
- 2 tbsp honey (or 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 toasting the sandwich evenly without burning.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of goat cheese evenly on one slice of bread. Drizzle honey over the goat cheese to add a sweet contrast.
- Close and Butter: Place the second slice of bread on top, then butter the outside of both slices generously to ensure a crisp, golden exterior when grilled.
- Grill One Side: Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Grill Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and grill the other side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the goat cheese to melt fully and the bread to crisp up.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately to enjoy while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use herbed goat cheese to add an aromatic twist to the sandwich.
- Opt for sourdough or whole grain bread for texture and to hold up against moisture from the cheese and honey.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a healthier alternative.
- Agave syrup works well as a vegan-friendly alternative to honey.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor as the cheese tends to firm up when cooled.
