I don't know a lot about cheese, but I know I love it.  I don't think I've tried any kind of cheese I don't like.  From simple American processed cheese slices to parmesan and brie I love it all.  I think it has a lot to do with my love of bread.  Many Friday nights my indulgence is a good crusty baguette and cheese for dinner (often my husband works late or goes out for drinks after work and I get most of the bread and cheese to myself).  I've been known to put away an entire baguette and at least 1/4 pound of cheese all by myself (probably not the healthiest but I do try not to do it too often).

Rougette is a new cheese for me.  It's smooth and creamy with a rind similar to brie in appearance, but the rind has a reddish orange color to it.  The flavor is mild and buttery.  It's like eating butter in smooth creamy cheese form.  As soon as I tried it I knew it would taste great melted on one of my buttery Easy Crescent Rolls.

Rougette's like butter in cheese form.  [Tweet this]

So the next day I made this sandwich.  Turkey is a perfect compliment to this cheese because it doesn't have a strong flavor that would overpower the cheese.  I kept the sandwich simple because this is all about the cheese for me.

I kept the sandwich simple b/c it's all about the cheese.  [Tweet this]

Cut a large crescent roll in half lengthwise (toast or grill the cut sides of the roll if desired).

Place a thick slice of turkey breast (or more) on one-half of the roll and top with a thick slice of Rougette.

Broil the cheesy sandwich half for a few minutes until the cheese begins to melt then top with the remaining half of the roll.

Serve immediately with a salad, vegetables, or chips.

If you have it, this sandwich would be even better spread with a little pesto.

Enjoy.

This sandwich wouldn't be the same without Easy Crescent Rolls:


Easy Crescent Rolls:  Soft, yeasty, buttery rolls rolled into crescent shapes.  They make great dinner rolls, sandwich rolls, or snacks.
