Manchego Fig Grilled Cheese

Honestly, when I made this grilled cheese, I didn't even wait to plate it  - I bit into it and couldn't stop eating it - it's THAT good...

For two sandwiches, you'll need:

4 thin slices of olive bread (i used sun-dried tomato bread)
dried fig jam
manchego cheese, shredded on large wholes of grater - 1 cup
2 T soft butter
olive oil

Lightly spread both sides of the bread slices with the butter.  Spread each slice with 1-2 T dried fig jam to barely cover the bread.  Mound half a cup of shredded cheese on top of the fig spread on two slices.  Close the sandwich with the other two slices of fig spread bread.

Heat 1 T olive oil in a large pan over med-hi heat.  Place both sandwiches in the pan and cook until bread is browned, about 3 minutes.  Turn and cook til other side is browned, cheese is melted, another 2 minutes.

Cut and serve hot.
