Instructions

  1. Add the figs to the water and either let sit overnight or microwave for 2-3 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. You can add sugar to the puree if you would like but with this savory grilled cheese I didn't.
  4. Spread the butter on one side of each of the 8 slices of Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread.
  5. Butter side down on the cutting board add fig puree to four of the slices.
  6. Add the bleu cheese to the remaining four slices.
  7. Add a slice of provolone to each of the slices.
  8. Top four slices with bacon.
  9. Close the sandwiches, a bacon covered piece of Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread with a non bacon covered piece.
  10. In a cast iron pan or griddle on medium high add the sandwiches and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side.
