Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slice(s) rustic white bread (i baked my own)
1/2-1 tablespoon(s) dark aged balsamic vinegar, approximately (trader joe's brand-red label)
3 tablespoon(s) fig jam (i like trader joe's brand)
2 slice(s) fontina cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar with the fig jam. Divide and spread the jam mixture on two slices of bread.

  • Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Add the butter, olive oil or a little of both.
  • Brown the sandwiches on each side about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
