Ingredients
- Roast beef
- Feta cheese
- Lemon juice
- Mayonnaise
- Whole grain bread
- Arugula
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese into fine pieces using a fork.
- Add mayonnaise and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the crumbled feta. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, creamy spread is formed.
- Season the feta spread with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Take the whole grain bread slices and lightly toast them until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Once toasted, spread a generous layer of the lemon feta mixture on each slice of bread.
- Layer thinly sliced roast beef on top of the feta spread, ensuring even coverage.
- Add fresh arugula leaves on top of the roast beef for a peppery, crisp texture.
- Close the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread on top, with the lemon feta spread facing down.
- Cut the sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately while bread is still warm and crisp.
Tips
- For the creamiest feta spread, let the feta come to room temperature before mixing with mayonnaise and lemon juice.
- Toast your bread until it's golden and crisp to prevent sogginess and add a delightful crunch.
- Use fresh, high-quality roast beef for the best flavor—ask your deli counter for their most tender cut.
- Don't skimp on the arugula—its peppery bite adds a fresh, zesty contrast to the rich roast beef.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a light drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs to your spread.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the sandwich at its peak texture and temperature.
