Malibu Sandwich

It was summer time in Malibu and we were planning on having a picnic lunch at the beach.

My son's Davis and Skyler were toddlers at the time and I was trying to come up with a lunch to pack for them that would be yummy and easy to eat at the beach knowing there is sand everywhere!

For my husband and I, I made one of my favorite sandwiches, a good piece of artisanal cheese on a fresh baguette with tomato, basil and olive oil or I call it a "Malibu Sandwich". This sandwich is super easy to make and travels really well. It's also just as tasty a few hours after you've made it which makes it a great choice for a picnic sandwich. I'm using goat cheese but this sandwich would also be delicious with a brie or any good piece of cheese that you fancy.

When packing a lunch be sure to pack ice packs to keep your food cool. Food left in warm temperatures can spoil very quickly.

I hope you enjoy a day at the beach, park or backyard this summer with a delicious home made picnic lunch. Please visit me at www.TamraDavisCookingShow.com for more recipes and shows.

Malibu Sandwich
(Makes 2)

1 baguette
4 ounces of goat cheese
1 tomato sliced
1 handful of basil
Olive oil

Toast the baguette lightly. Drizzle olive oil on both sides, place or smear soft cheese on one side, add tomato, a pinch of salt and pepper, and basil. Press the two pieces of bread together. Voila.

A lot of carbs in that sandwich,, you need to toss the bread.

Goat and sheep's cheeses are so underappreciated!

We call this the "Florida Sandwich" because that's where we usually are when we make them. They're a little different than your sandwich, but very tasty. They're less pretentious than the Malibu sandwich, I think you'll enjoy them:

Florida Sandwich (serves 4)
1 can of Spam, sliced and fried
4 slices of American cheese
8 slices of Wonder bread
Assemble and eat.

Hmm I find your recipe packed with more pretense. Food-like products pretending to be food, and the attitude to go with it.

This was, and is, a Taos sandwich. Started back in the early 90s.
