Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese with Honey and Red Pepper Flakes
A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich featuring creamy goat cheese, sharp white cheddar, honey, and a hint of red pepper flakes for a flavorful kick.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 slices thick, good quality white bread Crusty French loaf works well!
- 2 oz goat cheese Crumpled
- 2 oz white cheddar Shredded (can also use shredded mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp liquid honey Divided in half
- 3 tbsp butter Melted
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes More or less, to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat with the red pepper flakes for about five minutes, infusing the butter with flavor.
- Carefully transfer the melted butter to a small bowl and set the pan aside for the grilled cheese.
- Use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to spread the butter on one side of both slices of bread.
Cooking
- Heat the pan over medium heat and arrange one slice of bread buttered-side down.
- Add the crumbled goat cheese and shredded cheese to the bread, drizzle one tablespoon of honey over it, and top with the other slice of bread buttered side out.
- Cover with a lid and cook until the bottom is toasted and golden brown, and the cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.
- When done, drizzle the top with the remaining tablespoon of honey and sprinkle with additional red pepper flakes if desired.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Choose a sturdy bread to hold all the ingredients. Adjust the honey and red pepper flakes based on taste. For extra creaminess, consider adding mozzarella or cream cheese. Don’t rush the cooking to achieve perfect golden bread and melted cheese.
