GRILLED GOAT CHEESE & ARUGULA SANDWICHES
To create a more "grown-up" grilled cheese sandwich, I threw in tangy goat cheese and peppery arugula. I enjoy a similar combination on pizza, and it worked here, too! -Jess Apfe, Berkeley, California

Tips:
- Choose the right goat cheese: Look for a creamy and mild goat cheese that will pair well with the sweet beets and tangy arugula.
- Roast the beets in advance: This will save you time when assembling the sandwiches. Plus, roasted beets have a more concentrated flavor.
- Use fresh arugula: This will give the sandwiches a peppery flavor that will balance out the sweetness of the beets and the creaminess of the goat cheese.
- Spread the goat cheese on the bread before adding the other ingredients: This will help to keep the goat cheese from becoming too runny.
- Use a crusty bread: This will help to hold up to the other ingredients and prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- Serve the sandwiches warm: This will help to melt the goat cheese and make the flavors even more delicious.
