While I was out this morning, I stopped to pick up some fresh bread. I am fortunate that the Eric Kaiser Breadbar commercial bakery is in my town. They sell their surplus from orders, and they had my favorite available. I love their fig bread, it is a big rustic loaf. On returning home I quickly cut a few slices to toast and slather with butter. Yum!
As lunch approached, that yummy loaf sitting on the bread board was tempting me. Now, what to put with it. Well, we all know that a great sandwich starts with great bread. Then a simple, but balanced filling will do the rest of the job.
Pictured here you see what I selected from my refrigerator. I simply buttered the bread and added the toppings.
Salty - Prosciutto
Sharp - 1000 day aged Gouda, sliced very thin
Peppery - Arugula
Sweet - Fresh sliced rustic fig bread
Accompanied with a few sungold tomatoes from my garden to add a bright, acidic note.
With all the many fresh ingredients available during the summer months, be creative and see what your palette tempts you to put together!
As Always,
ENJOY!
