Description

Rich, melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese oozes between golden-back slices of sourdough, balanced by a ribbon of honey and fiery pepper flakes. Each bite delivers creamy tang, sweet warmth, and a crisp, buttery crust.


Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 oz soft goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter


Instructions

  1. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Spread goat cheese evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Drizzle honey over the goat cheese on two of the bread slices.
  4. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the honey‐topped cheese.
  5. Place the remaining two bread slices cheese‐side down on top to form sandwiches.
  6. Spread butter on the outer sides of each sandwich.
  7. Place sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3 minutes until the bread is crispy and the cheese is warmed through.
  9. Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the honey amount to suit your preferred sweetness.
  • Fresh thyme leaves can be added for an herbal note.
  • Any sturdy crusty bread works if sourdough is unavailable.
  • Serve hot to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
