Grilled Cheese with Fig Jam Sandwich

 

Grilled Cheese with Fig Jam is a sweet and savory combination that's perfect for a comforting snack or lunch. Here's a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

- 2 slices of sourdough bread

- 1-2 tablespoons of fig jam

- 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

- 1/4 cup of melted brie cheese (or other soft cheese)

- 1/4 cup of fresh arugula leaves

- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.

2. Butter one side of each bread slice.

3. Place one slice, butter-side down, in the grill or grill pan.

4. Spread a layer of fig jam on top of the bread.

5. Sprinkle the melted brie cheese over the fig jam.

6. Add a handful of arugula leaves on top of the cheese.

7. Place the second bread slice, butter-side up, on top of the filling.

8. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

9. Flip the sandwich over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the other side is also golden brown.

10. Remove from heat and let cool for a minute or two before serving.

Tips:

- Use a good quality fig jam that's not too sweet.

- Don't overfill the sandwich with cheese and arugula, as it can get messy.

- If using a grill pan, press down gently on the sandwich with a spatula to get a crispy crust.

- Enjoy immediately and savor the sweet and savory flavors!
