Ingredients
4 slice Sourdough Pullman Bread
1 each Bell Pepper
1 each Romaine Lettuce Heart
2 oz Smoked Gouda Cheese
1 tbsp Fig Spread
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
2 oz White Cheddar Cheese
3 tbsp Roasted Garlic Onion Dressing
1 each Blood Orange
How to make it
1
Rinse and dry all produce. Stem the peppers, quarter lengthwise, seed, and thinly slice crosswise. Thinly slice the gouda and cheddar. Roughly chop the lettuce. Peel the orange(s) and separate the segments.
2
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the sliced peppers; season. Cook stirring occasionally 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the vinegar (it may spatter); season. Cook stirring frequently 30 seconds to 1 minute until coated. Remove from heat.
3
Build the sandwiches with the bread, fig spread, cooked peppers, and sliced gouda and cheddar; season.
4
Wipe out the pan. Heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium. Add the sandwiches in batches; loosely cover with foil. Cook 2-4 minutes per side until lightly browned and the cheese is melted (add more oil before flipping if dry). Transfer to a board and season immediately. Halve on an angle.
5
In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, orange pieces, and enough garlic dressing to coat; toss. Taste and season. Serve the cooked sandwiches with the salad on the side.
