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.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Ahhh. Tougas Farm is my FAVORITE PLACE!!! I have some family members who work there.
That farm looks awesome! I have never been strawberry picking either. I really should!
This cake looks great too. What a nice hubby to make you such a delicious cake 🙂
Oh my, this looks so delicious! I might need to request this for my birthday cake next year, I always ask for strawberry cake. 🙂
Yum!
I’ve been wanting to try out this cake, but I just don’t like the addition of sour cream. I may have to get over my dislike of the sour stuff and make this. It looks great!
We subbed greek yogurt for the sour cream in case that sounds better to you.
I think C should give B a strong hint about birthday cake baking 😉
The cake looks fantastic!!! I have never been strawberry picking, I’m sure my kids would love it though. We go apple picking every fall though.
Funny, I just “found” your blog looking through a bunch of old recipes that I bookmarked in a file like a year ago. I had your Samoas Bars bookmarked to make and I forgot about them. I still want to make them!!!
I live about 10 minutes from Tougas Farms… great place. Lots of great farmstands in this area actually!
How nice of him! It does look good.
