# Needed Ingredients:
→ Bread
01 -
4 slices sourdough bread
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Filling
03 -
1/2 cup fig jam
04 -
4 ounces goat cheese, softened

4 slices prosciutto (optional)

1 cup fresh arugula or spinach leaves
→ Garnish

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
08 -
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Spread a thin, even layer of softened unsalted butter onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread to ensure even browning during grilling.
02 -
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, evenly distribute the fig jam. Top with softened goat cheese, followed by prosciutto if using, and a generous layer of fresh arugula or spinach. Cover each with the remaining bread slices, ensuring buttered sides face outward.
03 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches onto the hot surface. Grill for 3–4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the undersides are golden and crisp.
04 -
Carefully flip each sandwich and grill an additional 3–4 minutes, ensuring the bread is uniformly toasted and the goat cheese is warmed through.
05 -
Remove sandwiches from the heat. Optionally, drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper. Slice in half and serve warm.
