Apple and Prosciutto Sandwich with Goat Cheese and Arugula
Description
The Apple and Prosciutto Sandwich with Goat Cheese and Arugula starts with toasted rustic bread spread with soft goat cheese that slightly melts into the bread. Thin apple slices provide a crisp and subtly sweet element contrasting with the rich, salty prosciutto slices layered on top. Baby arugula, lightly tossed in fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and salt, adds a peppery and tangy note that cuts through the richness.
These ingredients form a well-balanced sandwich that combines creamy, crisp, salty, and fresh elements with a rustic texture from sourdough. The acidity from lemon dressing and the slight tang of goat cheese add depth to the flavor profile. It is suitable for a light lunch or a refined snack.
To extend the dish, extra dressed arugula with apple slices can serve as a simple side salad. Substituting figs or pears for apples offers seasonal variation. The sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the texture of the apples and crispness of the bread.
Ingredients
For each sandwich:
- 2 lices sourdough bread or other thick, rustic bread
- 2 oz. goat cheese soft, chevre
- 1/4 apple sliced
- 2-3 lices prosciutto or ham
- 1/2 cup arugula give or take, baby
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bread and top one slice with goat cheese. Allow to sit for a minute or two so the goat cheese softens. Spread goat cheese onto the bread.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil (2 teaspoons), and salt in a small bowl. Add the arugula (1/2 cup) and toss to coat.
- Add the apple slices on top of the goat cheese, topped with the prosciutto, then the arugula.
- Top with the remaining slice of bread, cut in half, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make extra dressed arugula with additional apple slices to serve as a side salad alongside the sandwich.
- Try fresh figs or pears instead of apples to vary the sandwich flavor seasonally.
- Use rustic or thick sourdough bread for better structure and flavor contrast.
