Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 slices Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread
  • 8 sliced Provolone Cheese
  • 2 ounces bleu cheese
  • 1/4 cup dried figs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (, optional)
  • 8 sliced thick cut bacon (, cooked)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (, unsalted)

Instruction

  • Add the figs to the water and either let sit overnight or microwave for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the figs and add them to a small food processor and add water as needed (I used 2 tablespoons) to make a spreadable puree.
  • You can add sugar to the puree if you would like but with this savory grilled cheese I didn't.
  • Spread the butter on one side of each of the 8 slices of Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread.
  • Butter side down on the cutting board add fig puree to four of the slices.
  • Add the bleu cheese to the remaining four slices.
  • Add a slice of provolone to each of the slices.
  • Top four slices with bacon.
  • Close the sandwiches, a bacon covered piece of Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread with a non bacon covered piece.
  • In a cast iron pan or griddle on medium high add the sandwiches and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side.
