PL Health: Freepeople Repost "Fig Grilled Cheese"

Love this new recipe we found from Free People! A unique blend of health within a classic meal to make the ultimate fig grilled cheese sandwich. You can also substitute the whole wheat bread with gluten free bread for our gf community!

There are so many delicious fruits in season this month so I would like to share some recipes that will take advantage of the produce available this summer. This first recipe is a sweet and savory grilled cheese. Ripe figs are very sweet – pick out the soft deep purple ones that hold their shape when shopping. Goat cheese always pairs well with figs, but for a little twist try adding Thai basil and tamarind glaze!
Whole Wheat Sour Dough
Fresh Figs
Goat Cheese
Thai Basil
Tamarind Glaze
Butter for Frying



Cut your bread into thin slices. On one side of the bread drizzle some of the glaze and on the other spread a layer of goat cheese. Add a thin layer of fresh sliced figs and picked Thai basil.Press both sides together and prepare to grill. Melt some butter in a frying pan until evenly coated. Heat both sides of the sandwich until golden brown and cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Yum!
