Grilled Goat Cheese With Fig Preserves

Makes 10 mini sandwiches

Ingredients

• 20 baguette slices
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz soft mild goat cheese at room temperature
• 3 oz cream cheese at room temperature
• 8 tablespoons dark fig preserves

Method

Blend cheeses together. Spread 1 side of each baguette slice with butter. Turn over 4 slices and spread cheese and preserves onto them. Top with remaining baguette slices, buttered sides up.

Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot, then cook sandwiches, pressing occasionally and turning over once, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes total.
