blueberry goat cheese and beet grilled cheese

have you noticed i like weird flavor combinations... because i do. my staple in high school was steamed vegetables, cheese, and peanut butter. seriously?... i'm wondering how i enjoyed that, too. i haven't had that one in a while... but a new favorite in my recipe archive is this blueberry goat cheese and beet grilled cheese. the goat cheese is a perfect accent to the beets, and the blueberries add a fun, fruity kick. plus, what's not to love about a purple and green sandwich!?

 

blueberry goat cheese and beet grilled cheese

serves 2

ingredients:

• blueberry goat cheese block [from trader joe's]
• 1/2 avocado, cut into thin slices
• 4 slices bread
• butter
• 2 beets, cooked, peeled, and cut into thin pieces [i buy mine ready to eat from trader joe's]

heat the stove top to medium low. while it's warming, butter one side of each slice of bread. cut the goat cheese block into small slices and spread on each piece of bread [the side without butter] to the thickness you desire. layer the avocado and beets on top of the goat cheese. top the sandwiches with its partner bread, and place on the stove top - butter side down. cook on one side for about five minutes and then flip to cook the other side.  the sandwich is ready when the cheese is melted and the sandwich bread is browned.

enjoy! hope your week is off to a great start!
