Antipasto Sandwiches With Goat Cheese

"From vegetarian times.Sandwiches may be an everyday lunch food, but using artisan bread and flavorful antipasto ingredients elevates a simple sandwich to sophisticated picnic fare. For a vegan variation, omit the goat cheese; instead, spread 1 to 2 Tbs. black olive paste over top and bottom halves of both loaves, then arrange 12 oz. thinly sliced baked or smoke-flavored tofu over roasted peppers and artichokes."

  1. I was trying to duplicate a sandwich I tried at a new little restaurant and this was pretty close - I didn't have focaccia so used some other homemade square italian loaf with cheese and olives on it - instead of goat cheese I used feta, chopped green olives, spinach instead of arugula and added some chopped tomato. It was a bit messy to eat but good.
