Ingredients

  • 16 ounces french bread baguette
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 8 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as tarragon, thyme, rosemary)
  • 3/4 cup soft fresh goat cheese (plain, peppered, or herbed)
  • 4 large plum tomatoes, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped pitted mediterranean olives

How To Make grilled tomato, basil, and goat cheese sandwiches

  • Step 1
    Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Cut baguette crosswise in half. Cut each half lengthwise in half to form 4 pieces total. Combine oil, garlic, and herbs in small bowl. Brush all cut sides of bread with half of oil mixture.
  • Step 2
    Grill bread, cut sides down, until 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 mixture on top.
  • Step 3
    Return open-face sandwiches to grill. Cook until bottom sides are toasted, cheese melts, and tomatoes begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half and serve.
