I posted Meat Free Mondays this morning, so that's dinner covered. Now it's time to think about lunch for tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Leerdammer


Leerdammer challenged me to come up with some tasty sandwich recipes to make lunchtime fun, I couldn't resist and said yes. It can be so easy to get into a lunch time rut.

LEERDAMMER cheese combines the mild flavour of Gouda with the large holes of Emmental. It's named after the town near the dairy called Leerdam. It comes in sandwich size slices, has a mild nutty flavour and it suitable for vegetarians.

Vegetarian BLT


A standard BLT is an popular American sandwich, stacked high with bacon, lettuce and tomato, but I wanted to bring you a vegetarian version and one I love.

Today I bring you the Leerdammer BLT, but instead of bacon it's beet. So, so good!

The beet packs a punch, so their is no missing the bacon



For the rest of the week I'll be sharing more delicious sandwich ideas, so do tune in.

  1. The sandwich looks delicious, I should try to add beetroot in the sandwich instead of making it as a salad. It's a very good idea.

  3. Beet and cheese on a sandwich - genius! Although I know Gouda and Emmenthaler well I don't know Leerdamer that well - but it sounds as if I need to get acquainted :)

    1. It's a great quality cheese slice Jeanne. Quite mild, but a definite nutty flavour.
