Goat Cheese and Honey Fig Grilled Cheese

For the final installment in my “sophisticated substitutes for traditional camp fire food” series I turned a plain jane cold cut sandwich into 2 warm and cheesy sandwiches of delight!

I started with a savory sandwich made with everyone’s favorite ingredient, buffalo chicken, and spiced it up with some pepper jack cheese!  Next, I made a sweet treat combining honey drizzled figs with goat cheese for a unique spin on a grilled cheese sandwich!

Buffalo Chicken and Pepper Jack Grilled Cheese

Fig and Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese:

Ingredients (makes 6 sandwiches)

• 2 cups figs
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 lemon (zested)
• 1 loaf french bread (cut into 12 slices)
• 6 oz goat cheese
• 6 tbsp butter

Start by adding the figs to a small mixing bowl and drizzling the honey on top.

Next, zest one lemon into the honey fig mixture.

Now it’s time to prepare the sandwiches.

Start by spreading 1/2 tbsp of butter on one side of each slice of bread then spread the other side with 1/2 tbsp of goat cheese.

Next, add about 1/4 cup of the fig mixture on top.

Place in skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.

Look, it’s the leaning tower of grilled chee-za!
