WARM GOAT CHEESE, BEET AND ARUGULA SANDWICHES



Warm Goat Cheese, Beet and Arugula Sandwiches image

Categories     Sandwich     Cheese     Leafy Green     Vegetable     Broil     Lunch     Goat Cheese     Arugula     Beet     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
14- to 15-ounce can sliced beets, drained
8 (1/2-inch-thick) bread slices from a round country loaf
6 ounces soft mild goat cheese, softened
4 very thin slices red onion, rings separated
16 large arugula leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, then whisk in 2 tablespoons oil. Toss beets with vinaigrette.
  • Arrange bread on a large baking sheet and brush tops with remaining tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and broil 6 inches from heat 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until edges are golden. Remove 4 slices from oven. Turn remaining 4 slices over on baking sheet and spread thickly with goat cheese. Broil 1 minute more and transfer to plates. Top goat cheese with drained beets, onion, arugula, and remaining bread, toasted sides up.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh goat cheese, ripe tomatoes, and tender arugula make all the difference in these sandwiches.
  • Grill the goat cheese until it is melted and slightly browned. This adds a delicious smoky flavor to the sandwiches.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the sandwiches. This will help the bread hold up better and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Spread a thin layer of pesto on the bread before adding the other ingredients. This will add a flavorful base to the sandwiches.
  • Layer the tomatoes, arugula, and goat cheese on the bread in that order. This will help prevent the arugula from wilting.
  • Drizzle the sandwiches with olive oil and balsamic vinegar before serving. This will add a touch of acidity and brightness to the sandwiches.
