Ingredients

  • 1 x 16 oz French-bread baguette
  • 2/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 lrg garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1/2 c. minced fresh basil
  • 1 Tbsp. minced mixed fresh herbs (such as tarragon, thyme, and rosemary)
  • 3/4 c. soft fresh goat cheese (plain, peppered, or possibly herbed)
  • 4 lrg plum tomatoes thinly sliced into rounds
  • 2 c. coarsely-minced pitted Mediterranean olives

Directions

  1. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Cut baguette crosswise in half. Cut each half lengthwise in half to create 4 pcs total. Combine oil, garlic, and herbs in small bowl. Brush all cut sides of bread with half of oil mix.
  2. Grill bread, cut-sides down, till lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Remove from grill. Quickly spread cut sides of toast with goat cheese. Top with tomatoes and olives, dividing equally. Drizzle remaining oil mix on top.
  3. Return open-face sandwiches to grill. Cook till bottom sides are toasted, cheese melts, and tomatoes begin to soften, about 3 min. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half and serve.
  4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  5. Comments: Play off the Provencal flavors by passing an arugula salad tossed with red wine vinaigrette. Sliced peaches topped with honey and lowfat sour cream would make a great finale.
