Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 4 slices Thick, Good Quality White Bread Sourdough or artisanal bread can enhance flavor.
For the Cheese Filling
  • 2 oz Goat Cheese, Crumbled Feta or cream cheese can be used for a different texture.
  • 2 oz White Cheddar, Shredded Mozzarella or Gruyere can vary the taste.
For the Sweet & Spicy Touch
  • 2 tablespoons Liquid Honey Consider maple syrup for a unique flavor.
  • ⅛ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust quantity based on your preferred heat level.

  • 3 tablespoons Butter, Melted For a lighter option, use less or substitute with mayonnaise.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Infuse the Butter: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter along with the red pepper flakes. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, swirling occasionally.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Brush one side of each slice of thick, good quality white bread with the melted butter blend.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick skillet and place one slice of bread, buttered-side down. Layer with crumbled goat cheese, shredded white cheddar, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of liquid honey on top.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Cook the sandwich for about 5-7 minutes, pressing down with a spatula to help everything meld together.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Remove the sandwich, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey over the top, and sprinkle more red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Serve Warm: Serve the grilled cheese warm, perhaps alongside a bowl of creamy tomato soup.
