Preheat your panini maker or oven to 350.

Evenly cut the bread into 8 slices.

Spread 1 oz of goat cheese onto 4 of the slices.

Remove the pits from the dates, then cut them into thin slices. Arrange them on top of goat cheese bread slices.

Drizzle 1 TSP of honey on top of dates, then sprinkle thyme onto each goat cheese slice.

Put the plain bread slices onto the goat cheese halves, then brush 1 TSP of olive oil onto the tops of each slice of bread.

Bake a few minutes on each side until lightly browned.
