Directions
Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring until well blended.
Spread 1 tablespoon goat cheese mixture on each of 4 bread slices; top each slice with 1½ teaspoons preserves and ½ teaspoon basil.
Top with remaining bread slices.
Lightly coat outside of bread with cooking spray.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add 2 sandwiches to pan. Place a cast-iron or heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten.
Cook 3 minutes on each side or until bread is lightly toasted (leave cast-iron skillet on sandwiches while they cook).
Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Sprinkle with sugar.
