Ingredients
Sandwich
- 4 slices artisan bread sourdough or country loaf
- 4 ounces goat cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons honey plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper optional
Optional Add-Ins
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Arugula
- Thinly sliced pear or apple
- Crushed walnuts or pecans
- Balsamic glaze drizzle
Instructions
- Prep the Bread:
- Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Flip slices so the unbuttered side faces up.
- Add the Filling:
- Spread goat cheese evenly over two slices (unbuttered side). Drizzle honey on top, sprinkle with salt and optional pepper, and add any optional toppings. Top with remaining slices, buttered side out.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt. Flip carefully and cook until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve:
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, slice diagonally, and drizzle extra honey if desired. Serve warm.

- Drizzle honey lightly for a sweet contrast; adjust to taste.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
- Cook over medium-low heat to melt cheese without burning bread.

- Serve immediately for warm, melty perfection.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the fridge; reheat gently in a skillet.
