Roasted Cherry & Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Serves 2.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of light wheat bread
- 4 ounces of soft goat cheese
- 1 cup of cherries pits removed
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Honey
- Dash of salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cherries into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar and a dash of salt. Roast for about 10 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully move the cherries and sugar around (to prevent burning) and roast another 8 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled slightly, slice cherries in half.
- Meanwhile, spread butter onto each side of the bread. Then, carefully slather 2 ounces of goat cheese onto the un-buttered side of the bread. Top the goat cheese with about 1/4 – 1/3 cup cherry slices (as many as you’d like, really). Drizzle the cherry slices with honey and place the second piece of bread over it.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Place the sandwiches down, butter side down. Cook until golden brown on each side and cheese is melted and gooey, about 3 – 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from heat, drizzle with additional honey and enjoy!
