Ingredients
  

8 slices of artisanal bread (sourdough or whole grain preferred)

1 cup fig jam

8 oz goat cheese (softened)

4 oz prosciutto or thinly sliced ham

1 cup fresh arugula

2 tbsp balsamic glaze

2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Start by spreading a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outside of the sandwich to achieve that perfect golden crunch when grilled.

    Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of 4 slices, spread a generous layer of fig jam. Top the jam with a layer of softened goat cheese, followed by slices of prosciutto (or ham). Add a handful of fresh arugula on top for a peppery bite.

      Top it Off: Close the sandwiches by placing the remaining slices of bread on top, ensuring the buttered side is facing out.

        Grill: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet, pressing them down slightly with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until golden and the cheese is slightly melty.

          Drizzle and Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top for added sweetness and acidity. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired.

            Cut and Enjoy: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful contrast of sweet fig jam, creamy goat cheese, salty prosciutto, and fresh arugula in each bite!
