Tips & Variations

• Swap honey for agave syrup to change up the sweetness.

• For a lighter option, use olive oil instead of butter to grill the sandwich.
• Serve with a fresh salad or tomato soup to complete the meal.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwich wrapped in foil or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in a toaster oven to maintain the crispiness of the bread and melt the cheese without drying it out.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of goat cheese?

Yes, you can substitute goat cheese with cream cheese, ricotta, or even a mild feta. Keep in mind the flavor and texture will vary slightly.

How do I prevent the sandwich from burning before the cheese melts?

Grill the sandwich over medium heat and be patient. Cooking it too quickly on high heat may burn the bread. Use a skillet lid or press lightly with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
