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.
