If you weren’t already aware, I’m a huge fan of Ina Garten, so Day 3 features one of her recipes.
Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Sandwiches
We don’t make these sandwiches very often, but they are a nice change from the norm. Goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, and basil – how can you go wrong (or should I say, ‘how bad can that be’)? I calculated this recipe serving 4 at about 350 calories each. It will vary wildly depending on your bread however.
Preparation
While this recipe is essentially an “assembly” style one, Ina has you roast the peppers on your own. I did that…Once. It was a huge pain and so now I use pre-roasted peppers from a jar. The peppers also are supposed to marinate for a few hours, so it takes a bit of advance planning if you want to eat at a reasonable hour.
Impressions
Being a huge fan of basil and balsamic vinegar, I really like these sandwiches. The idea of a roasted vegetable sandwich is a great one to build upon. Someday I may swap out the peppers for roasted or sun-dried tomatoes and the goat cheese for fresh mozzarella. Absolute heaven!
