I’m in a quest for a new blog look, starting with the photo. My goal was to be able to take photos of my Black Forest ham sandwich and sweet potato, apple salad with apple cider vinaigrette on the dock (recipe to be posted later), but since I had my daughter and a friend with me all I managed to get was a shot of my wine glass.
Earlier in the day I shot this hibiscus in my front yard as well.
Then I got a shot of my birds of paradise.
I’m undecided on the photos. I’ll keep on trying!
Luckily I did get a shot of the sandwich before we headed out.
The sandwich came out really well. I splurged on some Tuscan Roasted Garlic organic artisan bread and the tomato was so fresh and juicy. I loved the combo of the ham and creamy goat cheese together.
Black Forest Ham and Goat Cheese Sandwich on Tuscan Roasted Garlic Bread
Serves 2
Ingredients
4 slices of nice crusty bread of choice, I used Tuscan Roasted Garlic Bread
6 slices of Black Forest ham
4 Tbsp herbed goat cheese, softened
1 Tbsp coarse ground mustard
1 cup loosely packed arugula
4 tomato slices
Directions
1. Spray one side of each of the slices of bread and broil until lightly toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. Spread the mustard on two of the halves and the goat cheese on the other two halves.
2. Layer a slice with mustard, 3 slices ham, half arugula, 2 slices tomato and one of the goat cheese bread slices. Do the same with the second sandwich. Slice each sandwich in half and enjoy!
I adore goat cheese on sandwiches…on anything really! I bet the arugula added a nice kick too. And what a beautiful hibisicus you included in your post. Those flowers always remind me of my mother.
I'm not really a sandwich person, UNLESS it is a spectacular sandwich…this one makes my mouth water! The flavors are perfect…love the arugula.
(And I like the glass of wine on the deck photo…makes me wish I was out there.)
OOO, love all the flavors in this! I'm sure the quality of the bread made a BIG difference.
I'm not usually a sandwich person either but I decided to splurge on this one and it was so worth it!
My husband, a sandwich fiend, would LOVE this! Your photos look so pretty
