FAQ

Q1: Can I make this sandwich ahead of time? A: While the sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare some components ahead of time to save time. You can pre-slice the beetroots and toast the walnuts in advance. However, it’s best to assemble the sandwich just before serving to ensure optimal freshness and texture.

Q2: Can I make substitutions for the ingredients? A: Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and customize the sandwich to your liking. You can swap the goat cheese for feta or creamy brie, or use arugula instead of spinach. Experiment with different types of bread or add additional toppings like avocado or roasted peppers for extra flavor.

Q3: How do I store leftovers? A: If you have any leftover components of the sandwich, such as cooked beetroots or toasted walnuts, store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assembled sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh and are not recommended for storing as the bread may become soggy.

Q4: Can I make a vegan version of this sandwich? A: Absolutely! You can make a vegan version of this sandwich by substituting the goat cheese with a vegan cheese alternative or omitting it altogether.

Q5: How can I add more protein to this sandwich? A: If you’re looking to add more protein to the sandwich, you can incorporate ingredients like grilled chicken, tofu, chickpeas, or sliced hard-boiled eggs.
