The Deets
When I tell you this sandwich has everything, I’m not exaggerating—this goat cheese and rhubarb sandwich with caramelized leeks is a game-changer. The creamy tang of the goat cheese perfectly balances the sweet-tart flavor of the rhubarb, while the caramelized leeks bring a rich, savory depth that ties it all together. The first bite hooked me; honestly, I couldn’t put it down.
With rhubarb season winding down, I’m making the most of these last precious stalks, and you should, too! Cooking rhubarb is surprisingly simple—just add a little sugar to a pan and let it cook down until it’s soft and jammy. Layer the rhubarb on fresh, crusty bread with a generous smear of goat cheese, add those caramelized leeks, and voila! You’ve got a veggie sandwich that’s full of flavor.
I know I’ll be making it on repeat. Whether for a quick lunch or a leisurely weekend bite, it hits the spot every time. Trust me, this is the sandwich to savor before the season ends—you’ll thank me later! Check out more sandwich ideas here!
