A quick and easy grilled cheese sandwich combining creamy goat cheese, fresh strawberries, and crusty sourdough bread for a sweet and tangy twist on a classic comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and thinly sliced
  • 2 slices thick sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) soft goat cheese (chèvre)
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened (1 teaspoon per bread slice)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Fresh basil or mint leaves (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (a small pinch, optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice 4–6 fresh strawberries thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Set aside.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread evenly with about 1 teaspoon of softened unsalted butter.
  3. Place a slice of bread butter-side-down on a plate or clean surface.
  4. Spread about 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of softened goat cheese evenly over the bread, leaving a small border around the edges to avoid overflow.
  5. Layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the goat cheese.
  6. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the strawberries.
  7. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of honey or balsamic glaze over the strawberries if using.
  8. Add a few fresh basil or mint leaves if desired.
  9. Place the second slice of sourdough on top, butter-side-up. Gently press to compact the sandwich slightly.
  10. Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  11. Place the sandwich carefully in the skillet.
  12. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  13. Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
  14. If the bread browns too quickly but the cheese isn’t melting, lower the heat and cover the pan with a lid for a minute to trap heat.
  15. Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for 1–2 minutes.
  16. Cut diagonally and serve warm.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the bread while allowing the cheese to melt properly. Butter the bread, not the pan, for an even crust. If goat cheese is cold and firm, microwave for 10 seconds before spreading. Use fresh, firm strawberries to prevent sogginess. Cover the pan if cheese isn’t melting but bread is browning too fast.
