Olive and Jarlsberg Salad Sandwich image

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

an 8-inch round loaf of peasant bread
1/2 cup drained pimiento-stuffed green olives, chopped fine
1/2 cup drained Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and chopped fine
2 1/2 cups grated Jarlsberg cheese (about 6 ounces)
a 6-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped fine
1 cup drained bottled roasted red peppers, chopped fine
2 cups packed fresh parsley leaves, minced
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped fine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the top quarter off the loaf horizontally with a serrated knife and remove the soft crumb from the top and bottom sections, leaving two 1/2-inch-thick shells. In a bowl stir together the olives, the Jarlsberg, the artichoke hearts, the red peppers, the parsley, the capers, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste and spoon the mixture into the bottom bread shell, smoothing the surface. Fit the top bread shell on the filled bottom shell and press the sandwich together firmly, re-forming the loaf. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, chill it for 1 hour, and with the serrated knife cut it carefully into 4 wedges. (The sandwich may be made 1 day in advance and kept wrapped and chilled).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful greens, ripe tomatoes, and a good-quality cheese like Jarlsberg. Opt for a rustic, hearty bread for a satisfying sandwich.
  • Layer the flavors: Start with a smear of mayonnaise or aioli on the bread, then add the greens, tomatoes, cheese, and any other desired toppings. Season each layer with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to mix and match different greens, cheeses, and toppings to create your own unique combination. Try adding avocado, roasted red peppers, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
  • Make it a meal: Serve the open-faced Jarlsberg sandwiches with a side salad or soup for a complete and satisfying meal. You can also pack them for lunch or enjoy them as a light dinner.
  • Enjoy the freshness: Open-faced sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. Assemble them just before serving to ensure the bread stays crispy and the ingredients retain their vibrant flavors.
