Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rustic bread (sourdough or whole-grain)
- 200 grams Jarlsberg cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cups Mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or salad mix)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread and place them butter-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the thinly sliced Jarlsberg cheese evenly on top of the buttered bread slices.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss gently to coat.
Once the sandwiches are out of the broiler, transfer them onto serving plates.
Top each slice with a generous handful of the dressed greens and cherry tomatoes.
Serve immediately and enjoy your open-faced Jarlsberg sandwiches with greens!
