Lisa Tries... Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwiches w/Figs & Honey

Original Recipe: Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Fig & Honey David Bonom, Cooking Light, June 2004
Saw on this blog: http://me-myself-and-pie.blogspot.com/2010/04/grilled-goat-cheese-sandwiches-with-fig.html (see this site for original recipe and how it was intended... I didn't deviate too far from the original)
 
Personally, I think they should've called it "OMG It's So Sweet & Yummy Sandwich"!  You can eat this for breakfast but it definitely tastes like dessert!  I had it for dinner.
 

What you need:

2tsp honey

1/4tsp grated lemon rind

1 (4-ounce) package goat cheese

8 (1-ounce) slices cinnamon-raisin bread (I only had one sandwich and I used 80 calorie per slice cinnamon-raisin bread)

2 tbsp fig preserves

2 tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil

Cooking spray - (I didn't use.  I lightly buttered one slide of each piece of bread with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)

1 tsp powdered sugar  (I didn't use... don't need it to be any sweeter!)

What to do:

I toasted the bread in a non-stick pan while I mixed the lemon rind, goat cheese, and honey until well blended.  I spread the goat cheese mixture on one slice of toasted bread and the fig & basil on the other and then I put them together and cut in half.
