For lunch… let’s be real… it’s not always fancy salad and irresistible pretzel dogs.
Usually, at the lunch hour, I open the fridge and pile whatever I’ve got onto a few pieces of bread. There’s usually salt and olive oil involved. I believe that those are ingredients that belong on damn near everything.
Remember when I made this simple lunch?
Yea… more things on bread with salt and olive oil.
Dinner and dessert are a different story. Something warm and tender is awesome for dinner. Chocolate is dessert… even if it has black beans in it.
Please just consider this your reminder to keep it simple and flavorful.
Lunch shouldn’t be a stresser. Lunch, however, should have balsamic reduction on it… whenever possible.
Goat Cheese and Edamame Lunch Toasts
Slice a baguette into bite-sized slices. Top generously with soft goat cheese, steamed edamame, olive oil, coarse salt and coarse pepper, and a few drippings of balsamic reduction.
It’s lunch and lunch is good.

I love this for lunch but I also love this for super bowl!

I usually have one of two things for lunch: poached egg and baked beans on toast, or pasta and red pesto with mounds of cheddar.

Anything on toast for lunch is my idea of heaven. Avocado and chilli is one of my favourites, and goats cheese and courgette is another. I hadn’t thought of using steamed edamame though – what a gorgeous idea.

Yes! This is exactly the kind of lunch I like to have when I’m at home.

Such a great idea for my bento box lunches! Also edamame is very easy to get here in Japan, so unlike many recipes I find online, this one is easy enough for me (:
Thank you!

My non stresser lunch is usually on a piece of crusty bread with kalamata olive spread and a schmear of goat cheese. I can see edamame subbing right in.
Hannah @ Sparrow + Spark!
This looks so delicious, great idea. Stuff piled onto fresh bread is the best!

I eat edamame a few times a week, sometimes practically every day. This is a fun and EASY way to just soak up the edamame flavor…and the cheese flavor :)

Yes, lunch shouldn’t be a stresser, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stood in front of the fridge trying to decide what to have for lunch.
This would be wonderful! I just need to go get me those ingredients.

I LOVE edamame, and I’m interested in trying it with goat cheese. This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Julie
Love edamame – never thought of smooshing it on my bread! And with goat cheese-yum. Now a thin square of dark chocolate on a chunk of warm baguette.. that’s another addiction altogether…
Becca @ Cook, Rejoice, Repeat
