  • Combine beets and vinegar in a small bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread.
  • Once the pan is warm, add 1 slice of bread buttered side down, crumble 1/2 the cheese over the bread, and top with roasted beets. Crumble remaining cheese over beets and close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
  • Cook until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side.

    • Beverage pairing: Allan Scott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand. Sauvignon Blanc and chèvre are a classic combination. The sweet earthiness of the beets calls for a bright, fruity new-world wine, and New Zealand always fits the bill.
