Open Face Watermelon Sandwiches
Yield 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 medium-sized Florida watermelon, seeds and rind removed
- 1 handful fresh Florida mint leaves, chopped
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 1/2 loaf of your favorite crusty bread, sliced thin
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Preparation
Crumble chilled goat cheese into a small bowl. Lightly mix cheese and chopped mint. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.
Cut bread into 8 small slices and drizzle with olive oil. Toast bread slices until golden brown and crispy on top. Let bread cool slightly.

These look and sound so good. I made a watermelon salad yesterday for our cookout. It had red onions, basil and feta cheese in it. I’m so excited that watermelons are back in season!
I totally thought this was salmon! What a great looking, refreshing party appetizer. Always looking for new ways to incorporate watermelon.
