Grilled Blueberry, Basil & Goat Cheese Sandwich with Spinach SaladGrilled Blueberry, Basil & Goat Cheese Sandwich with Spinach Salad — a 30-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

3 (170 g) pkgs blueberries

1 small pkg fresh basil

3 cloves garlic

3 (113 g) logs goat cheese

1 shallot

12 slices sourdough bread

black pepper

Dijon mustard

extra virgin olive oil

pure maple syrup

salt

white wine vinegar

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons. Place in a medium bowl.

Crumble goat cheese into the bowl with the basil. Add salt and pepper, then mash with the back of a spoon until combined.

Place the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread each slice evenly with the goat cheese mixture, then top half of the slices with blueberries, pressing gently to adhere. Close sandwiches with remaining bread slices, pressing gently once more.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches, place sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2-4 minutes.

Remove the sandwiches to a plate and add more oil to the skillet. Return sandwiches to the skillet, browned-side up, and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2-4 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in half.

Meanwhile, peel and mince shallot and garlic. Place both in a large bowl along with oil, vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, salt, and pepper, then whisk to combine the dressing.

Add spinach to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine the salad.

To serve, divide sandwiches and salad between plates. Enjoy!
