Grilled Taleggio Sandwich with Apricots and Capers - Chef Eric Greenspan
15 dried apricots
1 tablespoon nonpareil capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8 slices dark raisin bread
5 tablespoons butter -- at room temperature
4 small handfuls arugula
8 ounces taleggio cheese -- rind removed, at room temperature
4 pinches fleur de sel
Place the apricots in small saucepan and add water just to cover.
Bring to full boil and immediately remove from heat. Mix in the capers, mustard and olive oil.
Pulse in blender to chunky consistency; set aside.
Spread one side of each bread slice evenly (to the edges) with 1/2 tablespoon butter. With buttered sides down, top four slices with 2 tablespoons of apricot mixture, a handful of arugula and equal portions of cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Place a large skillet over high heat, and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
Reduce the heat to low and add sandwiches. Cook until browned and crisp on both sides, about 2 minutes a side.
Transfer to a platter lined with paper towels, and sprinkle each with a pinch of fleur de sel.
Cut in half and serve.

Other than the raisin bread, it sounds amazing! I think sourdough might work better for me. I'm not much of a raisin bread fan.
