How to Make Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwiches With Fig And Honey

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 4 ounces (113g) goat cheese. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture onto each of 4 slices of cinnamon raisin bread.
  3. Top each slice with 1 1/2 teaspoons fig preserves and 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh basil.
  4. Top with the remaining bread slices to create 4 sandwiches.
  5. Lightly coat the outside of each sandwich with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add 2 sandwiches to the skillet.
  8. Place a heavy skillet or oven-safe plate on top of the sandwiches (for even cooking and to flatten slightly).
  9. Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly gooey. Keep the weight on top while cooking.
  10. Repeat with the remaining 2 sandwiches.
  11. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
  12. Makes 4 sandwiches.
