Notes

- For added crunch, consider toasting the bread lightly before assembling.
- Feel free to substitute the goat cheese with a vegan cheese alternative for a dairy-free option.
- Adding a few slices of tomato can boost freshness even more.
- Consume immediately to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
