Preparation

What You Need


Grilled cheese:
1 rustic ciabatta bread
1/2 cup (125 ml) extra virgin olive oil
8 oz (235 g) Canadian Swiss
9 oz (260 g) smoked or Black Forest ham
1 bunch arugula leaves
Cracked black pepper

Tapenade:
2 oz (50 g) sun dried tomatoes, soaked
1 oz (30 g) Kalamata olives
1/2 clove garlic, chopped
1/8 cup + 2 tsp (40 ml) olive oil
1 tbsp capers
2 tbsp Canadian Parmesan

Instructions

Chop together tomatoes, olives, garlic and capers.
Slowly add olive oil, stir in Parmesan and finish seasoning with fresh pepper.
Set tapenade aside. Preheat barbecue to low heat.
Slice ciabatta bread straight across into round disks approximately ½” (1 cm) thick.
Assemble each sandwich with Swiss, ham and arugula leaves.
Lightly brush both sides of ciabatta bread with olive oil.
Lightly grill each side of sandwich over very low heat.
Remove from grill and place on platters with 1 tsp (5 ml) of tapenade on top.


Tips

Tapenade can be made up to 1 week ahead and may be served on top or on the side. You could also use prosciutto to replace the ham.

    Boil a dozen eggs and keep them in a bowl in the frig. It comes in handy for deviled eggs or a quick egg salad sandwich.
