A very tasty and imaginative sandwich, which I had for my lunch today - everyone was out, so it was great to just eat what I fancied! I used a ciabatta bread roll and some local fresh goat's cheese. The tapenade was a problem, as I had run out of it - so I made up my own quick version of green tapenade, with some stoned green olives I had handy in the fridge! A terrific sandwich, although I may cut back on the tapenade next time, as I felt the quantities listed, were just a bit too overpowering for the goats' cheese! Many thanks for posting this recipe, it is a keeper - I made enough for one person, that was one sandwich! FT:-) -
What a great little sandwich! I think the method is really what makes this, the pan toasting really adds a lot of yummy flavor.

After growing up in central Wisconsin, I moved to California and spent my 20's and part of my 30's there. I've since moved to the east coast to a small village in Northern Virginia - a huge change! We moved here mainly so we could live in an area better suited to raising children and closer to family. Although it's an adjustment, we really love it here. My husband and I were married in Feb 2003 and had our first daughter, Kylie, in Aug 2004. Our second daughter, Katie, was just born in July 2006. I was an HR Director until I became Mom, and I wouldn't trade this job for anything in the world!
I began cooking when I became a stay-at-home-mom, mostly out of necessity. We used to eat out for every meal...and I do mean EVERY meal. When our income was cut in half after my "early retirement", eating out was no longer an option. Therefore, if I was going to continue to eat all the delicious food I was accustomed to, I was going to have to...oh, the horror!!!...COOK IT MYSELF!!! I had grown up baking with my mom, but hadn't actually baked in years and had always left the cooking to her. To my utter surprise and delight (not to mention my husband's SHOCK and delight)...I loved it! Then, to find Recipezaar...well, it's become a much loved hobby and something I'll surely do for the rest of my life!
