Strawberry, Avocado, Goat Cheese Sandwich
I love making sandwiches that have unique flavor combinations in them. This one might be my favorite. While it doesn’t have bacon, it does have the salty-tanginess of goat cheese, the sweetness of in-season ripe strawberries, and the creamy coolness of avocado.
I want to talk a few minutes about my new favorite cheese. Humboldt Fog has been making an appearance in my grocery cart on a regular basis since moving to Cincinnati (it was even the star ingredient to our low-key Superbowl snacking). Our local big-box grocery store has an AMAZING cheese counter. It rivals what I could get at Trader Joe’s back in Boston.
Due to my lactose intolerance, I love trying new goat and sheep milk cheeses, and this Humboldt Fog cheese has become my favorite. It paired so nicely with the other flavors in this sandwich. Hubby was definitely jealous that I made this one night when he was working late. But have no fear, this sandwich has been made a couple more times since then!

Strawberry, Avocado, Goat Cheese Sandwich
No real recipe here, just building one amazing sandwich!
Yield: 1 sandwich
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 slices whole wheat bread
1/2 avocado
sea salt
4-5 strawberries, sliced
~1 oz goat cheese
Directions:
Place the bread slices in a grill pan set to med-high heat. Once they have toasted on the first side, flip over. Add the goat cheese to one of the slices. When the bread is fully toasted and the cheese is melted, remove bread from pan and place on plate or cutting board.
Mash avocado onto the other piece of toast and sprinkle with sea salt.
Add strawberry slices to both pieces of toast before pressing together to form a sandwich.
Cut sandwich in half and serve.

Beautiful! I love the green pop of the basil scatted throughout.
These are definitely super creative! I love the strawberry basil combination… I’ve had a wonderful strawberry basil drink before… never added peaches too though… I’m sure that added some awesome flavor! Beautiful cupcakes!
Adding the peaches to the strawberry-basil combination was a great idea! This looks delicious.
i love your cupcake week! i have been craving them this week too!
These look super yummy!
