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.
