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.

Food Joke

The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home." "Why not?" asked someone from the back of the audience. "I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips to the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying just a single item at a time. 'Hon,' I suggested, 'Why don't you try carrying several things at once?'" The voice from the back asked, "Did it save time?" The expert replied, "Actually, yes. It used to take her 20 minutes to get breakfast ready. Now I do it in seven."
