8 ounces low-fat cream cheese, room temperature
10 1/2 ounces mild goat cheese, such as Montrachet, at room temperature

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE AND CUCUMBER SANDWICH



Creamy Goat Cheese and Cucumber Sandwich image

A creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend provides satisfying and comforting flavor. I use sumac to bump up the already satisfying and comforting flavor of the creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend that blankets cucumbers, celery and dill. My first choice for bread is pumpernickel, but black bread or whole wheat country bread are also good.

Categories     easy, lunch, quick, sandwiches, main course

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce goat cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt (more if needed)
1/4 teaspoon sumac (to taste)
2 slices pumpernickel, black bread or whole wheat country bread
Chopped fresh dill
1/2 tender celery stick from the heart, sliced very thin on the diagonal
1/2 Persian cucumber or 1/4 European cucumber, sliced very thin on the diagonal
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 walnut halves (1 1/2 whole walnuts), finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a mini-processor (or if multiplying the recipe, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade), blend together the goat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt until smooth. Add the sumac and mix together.
  • Spread half the cheese mixture on one slice of the bread. Sprinkle with dill. Top with a layer of thinly sliced celery. Top the celery with a layer of cucumber slices. Season if desired with salt and pepper and sprinkle on more dill. Spread the remaining cheese over the top slice of bread and sprinkle the walnuts over the cream so that they stick. Reverse the top slice onto the cucumber layer, press the sandwich gently (not too hard or the cream will ooze out), cut in half and serve.

ORIGINAL CUBAN SANDWICH

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 23m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf Cuban bread
1-ounce regular mustard
4 dill pickles
5 slices boiled ham or Virginia ham
2 slices roast pork
1 slice imported Swiss cheese
1-ounce butter

Steps:

  • Cut Cuban bread to desired size, common size is 7 inches. Next, slice open the bread down the middle. On the topside of the bread spread 1-ounce of mustard, evenly across. Then place 4 pickles on top of the mustard. You then place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on top of the pickles. Slice ham to desired thickness, recommended size is 1 1/2 ounces per slice, the thinner the better. Now fold each slice of ham in half and place evenly on bottom of bread. On top of the ham, place slices of roast pork, 1 1/2 ounces per slice. You then join both halves of the sandwich. You are now ready to grill your Cuban sandwich.
  • Use a sandwich grill if you have one, a waffle iron if not. Spread butter on top of the bread evenly. Close the grill, smashing the sandwich. Leave sandwich in the grill until top of bread turns to a golden brown, and top is crisp. Approximate time is 4 to 6 minutes. After the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich carefully and slice it diagonally, from corner to corner. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OVEN!

Here's what you need: black pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic, lime juice, bone-in pork butt, salt, cuban bread, mustard, swiss cheese, garlic oil, ham, pulled pork, cucumber pickle, pulled pork

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Lunch

Yield 20 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
¼ cup garlic, grated
2 cups lime juice
10 lb bone-in pork butt
salt, to taste
⅓ loaf cuban bread, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon mustard
2 slices swiss cheese
1 tablespoon garlic oil
4 slices ham
1 cup pulled pork
2 slices cucumber pickle
8 oz pulled pork

Steps:

  • Make the pulled pork: In a medium bowl, mix together the pepper, cumin, oregano, garlic, and lime juice. Set aside.
  • Make a few incisions, 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) deep, on both sides of the pork butt, cutting against the grain. Sprinkle generously with salt all over, make sure to season inside the incisions.
  • Transfer the pork butt to a roasting dish, and pour the marinade all over. Make sure the pork is well coated, including inside the incisions. Cover and marinate for 8-10 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 250˚F (120˚C).
  • Roast the pork, covered, for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily falls apart when prodded with a fork or tongs.
  • Let cool enough to handle, then remove any bones, and shred the pork with tongs. Keep in the fridge up to 5 days.
  • Make the Cuban sandwich: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Set the bread open face on the prepared baking sheet and spread the mustard over one side. Top with the Swiss cheese. Brush the garlic oil on the other side of the bread. Top with the ham. Arrange the pulled pork over the cheese.
  • Toast in the oven for 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Add the pickles and press the sandwich.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. If you can, try to find Cuban bread that is made with lard, as this will give it the authentic Cuban flavor.
  • If you don't have access to Cuban bread, you can substitute French bread or Italian bread. However, Cuban bread is the best choice if you want the authentic Cuban sandwich experience.
  • Be sure to press the sandwich firmly before grilling it. This will help to keep the sandwich from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality butter or oil for grilling the sandwich. This will help to prevent the sandwich from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the sandwich until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the sandwich hot with your favorite sides, such as Cuban black beans and rice or yuca fries.

Conclusion:

The Cuban sandwich is a delicious and iconic sandwich that is sure to please everyone. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, the Cuban sandwich is a must-try for any sandwich lover. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Cuban sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
