Alabama Tomato/Goat Cheese Sandwich
Sorry, no photo–lazy, I guess. For lunch today, we had a simple and delicious tomato sandwich. Fresh, local ingredients are the key:
1 to 2 ounces local goat cheese (Belle Chevre from near Huntsville, AL was my choice)
2 teaspoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
freshly ground pepper and garlic salt
4 slices Big Sky Honey Whole Wheat bread (a local bakery in Birmingham) or other artisan-style bread
Fresh sliced Alabama tomatoes
arugula or mache greens
Mix first 5 ingredients together to form a smooth spread. Spread on sandwich bread. Top with tomatoes and greens. Yum!
