Time: 25 minutes. The flavors of a good a cheese plate-salty, sweet, nutty-mingle in this sandwich. We loved its hazelnut crust, and also enjoyed the sandwich just as much with ripe teleme cheese from California. Ingredients:
1/4 cup hazelnuts |
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves |
4 freshly cut thin slices rustic white bread |
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons fig spread |
4 slices port salut cheese |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, pulse hazelnuts with rosemary until finely ground (be careful not to make a paste). Pour onto a plate.
2. Brush 1 side of each bread slice with oil and press it into nut mixture.
3. Spread uncoated side of 2 of the slices with fig spread. Top with cheese and second bread slices, nut-crusted side out.
4. Melt butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.
5. *Heather Auguello likes the Dalmatia Fig Spread from Whole Foods Market; it's also available by mail order from .
