Baking Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Set half of spicy fig jam aside.
Spread 6 slices of bread with remaining spicy fig jam and top with cheddar and remaining 6 slices of bread.
Spread outside of sandwiches with butter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Working in 2 batches, cook sandwiches, pressing down firmly, until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 1 minute per side.
Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles and serve with reserved spicy fig jam for dipping.
