Any day is a good day for a sandwich, right?! Especially if it involves cheese! As Jamie Oliver said once *"Because cheese changes the world!"* And yes... it sure does! As far as I am concerned, any cheese, all cheese all the time, lol! So, I was recently made aware of a sandwich combo that despite loving all the individual ingredients - they were never something I would have considered putting together on a sandwich... although, I have since discovered *(thanks Google)* that this is a lot more common than I would have expected. Nonetheless, the combination pricked my curiosity, so I decided to give it a whirl and figured I may as well share it with all of you. In the interest of presentation, I did this as an open sandwich *(like a true food snob, lol!)* and it was still absolutely delicious, even when eaten with a knife and fork, but if I were to do it again, I would do it closed so that I could just ***get stuck in***! I decided that a sandwich like this would be best made on some fresh from the market white ***"plaas brood"*** (Farm Bread), so I picked up a loaf when we went to the market on Saturday. I cut a nice doorstop size slice because... why not! Plaas brood has got to be one of the most deliciously comforting breads on planet earth - especially when still hot off the press. ![20210329_144612.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23yTswmvJHqhhHzxVAvxgBwNAUpeMrMZKgySi5S38HYLKsSgLr8usSqxQeYipyTxkLGpU.jpg) ![20210329_144629.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23wgWSrJDHn2Sjq46SZRsmWofbsx96M7nWwbW2UCxex1RAhZiLEvCLF7iJma5AcKsVZ4x.jpg)

I contemplated adding rocket to the plate but something in me said mmmm naaaah - which is practically unheard of for me because cheese and rocket are literally born to go hand in hand! So anyhow, I opted for some diced up butter lettuce instead, which is pretty close to a traditional iceberg lettuce basically just for a little extra juicy crunch in the mouth. Next up was the foundation of any good sandwich... yes, butter! No sandwich is complete without it, not in my opinion anyway - and **no**, not margarine, because that is essentially plastic... **only** real farm butter thanks! The original version of this sadnwich brought in some mayonnaise and I was going to go that route but I decided to add more cheese instead... a justifiable trade off I reckon. I opted for some paprika and black pepper chevin which is essentially a smooth goats cheese and is nothing short of heavenly. ![20210329_145123.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23uQzda4PczpimZFNxQXfSZerE22gx3VUctQfBWwz2vcN6ekq6jjoxkSMp6eUwrNJV8MJ.jpg) ![20210329_145406.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23y8zFKNAYrBHXKLu5KqLyzKATTEhDvm1agKtsdpGXSJKTtaJVmFpFcandFoq3wczWaFW.jpg) ![20210329_145606.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23xAeQhTLsMo5f62caHPFQxaYELK48LzBRutfkVnb6mvYC9EZKFnhZnEmGLLp5MbS89Qg.jpg)

After that came the beetroot - the star of the show really... although you would never say so given all the darn cheese I added, lol! Really speaking, it was the combination of cheese with the beetroot which really appealed to me in concept, because I knew they would marry well. so naturally I went over board and added ALL the cheeses!!! haha! I put a generous amount of beetroot rounds onto the slice, but I drained them a little after removing them from the brine, because I didn't want the bread to get too soggy. I actually would have preferred to cook up a fresh batch of beetroots but, well - I was too lazy to... so bottled beetroot it was! It did the job - and it did it well! ![20210329_150133.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/242DVLBGa44DUptdpNAafM6XgUVbCxAH42XyaKmAYM4VeYtYUKK74kpMBsRWHXG6drmBi.jpg) ![20210329_151450.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/2432WRkMXCuqJgMCMu7aJgE4VMhF7tdBftYNVhHGJ5DRp9BnpdSgs8RqWAJBKEWavPmK2.jpg)

Then it was time for some cheese, cheese and more cheese... I chose a traditional yellow gouda because I love the smooth, creamy deliciousness which I grated using the standard side of the grater. Then, I added to that, some finely grated mild white cheddar for that little bit of cheesy punch and then last but not least, I sprinkled it all with some plain crumbled feta cheese - because feta! ![20210329_151022.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23xAc8gHxczSzL6JD6zY3Ff97m6Mk7vUdRki6YWBa5BJitLnTUjSCLjzbfAGWP95XhSUc.jpg) ![20210329_151207.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23uFXzmYFRXH9y7KmDPtpAUmxgGew8A4okVxmg6SaGxWkuWyYNtAYktsPZSGtdG57kzcU.jpg)

So, that was pretty much that! I cracked a little black pepper around the plate and then got tucked in. It was absolutely bloody delicious!!! No, I did not make it quite the way it was originally introduced to me, but it was pretty close - just a whole lot more cheese, which for me - is never a problem, lol! Now that I have made it and eaten it, it seems such an obvious combination really... I feel a little stupid to not have ever thought of it myself - but, we learn something new everyday and I am thrilled to have been educated with this one! I reckon it would also be pretty tasty toasted. It is such a fun combo - one that apparently I have been missing out on for my entire life. This sandwich, made closed and possibly even some with mayonnaise will definitely be getting packed into the picnic basket in future - be it in a much simpler *(less food snobby)* way, haha! ![20210329_152921.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23tvuCgfLGobNmEDwc9BRmW18nQpeHA5Pr6wUiZL6dNEtYH8ERXUL4dFSfuLJgGmTxDSL.jpg) ![20210329_152744.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/242hhQCPxGicbenJ6JYZR4U8WrFyLtXZENeu25HZtNTkxC81AwixWY75JxzSK4R4d3wNU.jpg) ![20210329_153113.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jaynie/23zbRzHj7syjzrk5njfN624cTEu64zRd3yKSDvQYz6FcfwPHhAKPnmiJNPfegFruPgXE4.jpg)
