Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Olive tapenade
- 2 pieces Ciabatta bread
- 0.5 unit Cucumber
- 1 unit Tomato
- 0.25 unit Red onion
- 1 cup Mixed greens or arugula
- 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
Slice the ciabatta bread pieces in half lengthwise to create the top and bottom halves of each sandwich.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and olive tapenade until evenly combined. Set aside.
Thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
Spread the cream cheese and tapenade mixture evenly on the inside of both halves of the ciabatta bread.
Layer the cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom half of each sandwich.
Sprinkle the feta cheese on top of the vegetables, followed by mixed greens or arugula.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the layers, and sprinkle with dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Place the top half of the ciabatta bread over the layers and gently press to compact the sandwich slightly.
Cut each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Cream Cheese Tapenade Mediterranean Sandwich!
