Cooking instruction summary:

Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for this. I like to use my grill pan because of the pretty grill marks it creates. Preheat.Spread the fig butter on one of the bread slices, layer with cheese and top with the other slice of bread. Brush the outsides of the bread and place in the preheated pan. Grill over medium-high heat. Place another heavy pan (I used a cast iron skillet) on top of the sandwich and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip it over and do the same for the other side until the cheese has melted.Take the sandwich off the heat, add the the arugula tossed in lemon dressing and slice. Serve warm.
