Walnut, queso and membrillo sandwich

A sweet and savory sandwich with flavors from Spain
Prep Time5 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: Spanish
Servings: 1 person

Ingredients

  • a roll or two slices of bread per sandwich toasted if desired
  • membrillo, sliced to fit the bread
  • cheese, preferably a sharp cheese, sliced to fit the bread Manchego and Cheddar are good choices
  • 1 handful shelled walnut halves or pieces

Instructions

  • Briefly blitz the walnuts in a food processor to make a chunky "butter." Alternately, you can just lay the walnut halves on the bread. I've found the butter stays in place better.
  • Arrange the bottom of the roll or a slice of bread on your work surface
  • Spread the walnut paste and top with membrillo and cheese.
  • Cover with the top of the roll or remaining slice of bread.

Notes

If you can't find membrillo or another type of of fruit paste, try a mild apple butter or apple jelly.
Try it grilled!
