Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/2 (4-ounce) package goat cheese
  • 4 (1-ounce) slices cinnamon-raisin bread
  • 1 tablespoons fig preserves
  • 1 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh basil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring until well blended. Spread 1 tablespoon goat cheese mixture on each of 4 bread slices; top each slice with 1 1/2 teaspoons preserves and 1/2 teaspoon basil. Top with remaining bread slices. Lightly coat outside of bread with cooking spray.

  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches to pan. Place a cast-iron or heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until bread is lightly toasted (leave cast-iron skillet on sandwiches while they cook). Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Sprinkle with sugar.
