Hazelnut-Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwiches With Figs
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
- 4 freshly cut thin slices rustic white bread
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fig spread*
- 4 slices port salut cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- In a food processor, pulse hazelnuts with rosemary until finely ground (be careful not to make a paste). Pour onto a plate.
- Brush 1 side of each bread slice with oil and press it into nut mixture.
- Spread uncoated side of 2 of the slices with fig spread. Top with cheese and second bread slices, nut-crusted side out.
- Melt butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.
