Walnut, queso and membrillo sandwich
A sweet and savory sandwich with flavors from Spain
Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: Spanish
Servings: 1 person
- 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
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.
If you can't find membrillo or another type of of fruit paste, try a mild apple butter or apple jelly. Try it grilled!
