Pressed Arugula Sandwich


The arugula that came in our CSA share last week was probably the best I've ever had. After a few salads, though, I wanted to try something a little different. I ended up making this sandwich out of a few things in the kitchen that seemed like they might go together.

-1 piece of soft lavash
-arugula
-1/2 tomato, sliced
-1 slice prosciutto
-manchego cheese
-fresh basil leaves
-salt and pepper
-balsamic glaze

1. On one half of the lavash, layer the ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, and the balsamic glaze. Fold over the other half of the bread.
2. With a sandwich press (or electric grill), cook on high heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly crisp and brown.

I thought this was a very good sandwich--I think it would have been good with just about any combination of ingredients, but this showcased the awesome arugula pretty nicely!
