Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1/2 sliced roast beef
- 4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 small thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
ingredients
For the Balsamic Glaze
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Method
Step 1
Make the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce to half, which should take around 15-20 minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 2
Toast the Bread: Lightly brush each slice of the ciabatta rolls with extra virgin olive oil. Toast the bread in a toaster or an oven until it’s golden and crispy.
Step 3
Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out the slices of ciabatta rolls. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each roll. On top of that layer – in the following order – arugula, red onion, roast beef, and gorgonzola. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over everything, and top with the remaining slices of bread. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
