Ingredients
Sandwiches:
1/2 cup fig jam
4 slices multigrain bread (thick, hand-cut)
4 slices brioche bread
8 slices aged Cheddar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
Salad and Dressing:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
1 teaspoon honey
2 pinches salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1/3 lemon, juiced
One 5-ounce container mixed greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
Directions
- For the sandwiches: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Assemble 4 sandwiches by spreading 2 tablespoons fig jam on 2 of the multigrain slices and 2 of the brioche slices, then adding 2 slices of cheese to each and another slice of the same bread. Spread the butter on both sides of the assembled sandwiches.
- Place the sandwiches carefully onto the grates of the grill and grill on each side until the bread has grill marks and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side.
- For the salad and dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze, honey, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the mixed greens, tomatoes and basil to the same bowl and toss to coat.
- Serve each sandwich with a side of salad.
