For the Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese with Honey:
- 4 oz Goat Cheese (try herbed goat cheese for an unexpected twist)
- 2 slices Bread (opt for sturdy sourdough or whole grain for extra chewiness)
- 2 tbsp Honey (substitute with agave syrup for a different flavor profile)
- 2 tbsp Butter (consider using olive oil for a lighter option)
- Preheat the skillet: Place your skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up adequately to ensure even grilling of the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on one slice of bread. Drizzle the honey atop the goat cheese to introduce a sweet contrast, then place the second slice of bread over it to form the sandwich.
- Butter the exterior: Evenly spread butter on the outside of both slices of bread to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
- Grill the sandwich: Place the buttered sandwich onto the preheated skillet. Grill for about 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
- Flip and continue grilling: Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread to become crispy.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half for easier handling, and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, flavorful delight.
Notes
- Using herbed goat cheese can enhance the flavor profile with added savory notes.
- Sourdough or whole grain bread provides sturdiness and extra texture to the sandwich.
- Honey adds a sweet balance, but agave syrup is a great alternative for a different sweetness.
- Butter yields a rich, crispy crust, though olive oil can be a healthier substitute.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
