Ingredients
- 4 oz goat cheese (try herbed goat cheese for an unexpected twist)

- Step 2: Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on one slice of bread, then drizzle honey on top. Place the second slice of bread on top.

Tips & Variations

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain crispiness and creamy texture. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
