Egg and Garlic Cheese Baguette
Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 4 ounces soft garlic and herb cheese (recommended: Boursin)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced, recipe follows
- 4 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 to 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
- 1 green onion, green part only, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat the broiler on high. Make 4 sandwiches, but cutting the baguette in half lengthwise, and into 4 crosswise. Spread cheese on both sides of the bread. On 1 side of each sandwich arrange the egg slices. On the other side, spread out the tomato slices. Put on a baking sheet and broil until the edges begin to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle each sandwich with a few drops of balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with green onions. Arrange on serving plates and serve.
I make slight adjustments such as not always using tomatoes or green onions, depending on what I have on hand. I also use more than a few drops of fantastic aged balsamic that I have saved just for this recipe, a nice drizzle works perfectly for me.
The texture and flavor is amazing. The acid of the balsamic cuts through the creamy Boursin and eggs and the crunch of the bread... yum! My meat eating husband love this too, we pair it with soup and enjoy!
