Ingredients

  • servings pepper black freshly ground
  • medium cucumber peeled cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • ounces goat cheese at room temperature
  • cups olives pitted roughly chopped
  • servings sea salt 
  • slices no boil lasagna noodles white

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Place the chopped olives and the goat cheese in a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to break the goat cheese into smaller chunks, and then fold the two ingredients together to form a chunky mixture.
  2. Gently spread the goat cheese-olive mixture over the bread slices. Arrange the cucumber slices over half of the bread--about 5 slices each, to create a single layer with complete coverage. Top the cucumbers with a light sprinkling of sea salt and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Trim off the cursts, and cut each sandwich into 2 triangles.
