CREAMY GOAT CHEESE AND CUCUMBER SANDWICH



Creamy Goat Cheese and Cucumber Sandwich image

A creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend provides satisfying and comforting flavor. I use sumac to bump up the already satisfying and comforting flavor of the creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend that blankets cucumbers, celery and dill. My first choice for bread is pumpernickel, but black bread or whole wheat country bread are also good.

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce goat cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt (more if needed)
1/4 teaspoon sumac (to taste)
2 slices pumpernickel, black bread or whole wheat country bread
Chopped fresh dill
1/2 tender celery stick from the heart, sliced very thin on the diagonal
1/2 Persian cucumber or 1/4 European cucumber, sliced very thin on the diagonal
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 walnut halves (1 1/2 whole walnuts), finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a mini-processor (or if multiplying the recipe, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade), blend together the goat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt until smooth. Add the sumac and mix together.
  • Spread half the cheese mixture on one slice of the bread. Sprinkle with dill. Top with a layer of thinly sliced celery. Top the celery with a layer of cucumber slices. Season if desired with salt and pepper and sprinkle on more dill. Spread the remaining cheese over the top slice of bread and sprinkle the walnuts over the cream so that they stick. Reverse the top slice onto the cucumber layer, press the sandwich gently (not too hard or the cream will ooze out), cut in half and serve.
