Description

This Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese is the perfect mix of creamy, tangy, sweet, and spicy! Soft goat cheese melts beautifully between crispy, buttery bread, while honey and a touch of spice take it to the next level. Perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy snack!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough or rustic bread
  • 4 oz goat cheese (soft, spreadable)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bread: Spread the goat cheese evenly on two slices of bread.
  2. Add Flavor: Drizzle honey over the cheese and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, thyme (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  3. Assemble: Top with the remaining slices of bread to make a sandwich.
  4. Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on the outside of each slice.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
  6. Serve: Drizzle with extra honey and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Add a slice of prosciutto for a savory twist.
  • Try using hot honey for even more kick!
  • Swap sourdough for whole grain or brioche for different textures.
