Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Sandwich by Sweet Memories

Serves: 2

If you're the kind of person who typically doesn't like beets, this may be the recipe to try. The creamy goat cheese, the earthy beet, and the bite of arugula create a great flavor combination.

Ingredients

• 2 medium beets, peeled and roasted
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 4 ½ inch thick bread slices, lightly toasted
• 6 oz. soft mild goat cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh arugula
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Slice beets into even ¼ inch slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet. Brush beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast beet slices for 35-45 minutes, or until fork tender.
3. Toast the bread and then spread the slices of bread with goat cheese. Top with roasted beet slices, arugula, and 1 tsp. lemon juice, and top with remaining bread slices.
