Description

Ingredients

• 8 slices Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread
• 8 sliced Provolone Cheese
• 2 ounces bleu cheese
• ¼ cup dried figs
• ¼ cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar, optional
• 8 sliced thick cut bacon, cooked
• 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted

Directions

• 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 didnt.
• 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.
