Holy moly on a poly, this sandwich…..!
Sorry. I’m getting all hot and bothered just by looking at it again. It was that good. Simple, too. And did I mention delicious? Done and done.
Tempeh, Goat Cheese and Raspberry Jam Sandwich
1 sandwich roll (I use Whole Foods brand 100 calorie sandwich thins)
1/3rd block of tempeh, sliced into two thin parts
1 tbsp raspberry preserves
1 ounce goat cheese
Smash yo’ jam, cheese and tempeh together on the roll. Devour.
I’m off to go close the blinds and lick the jam jar. Someone stop me…….I dare you.

Becki @ HikeBikeEat
June 21, 2010 at 12:25 pmI still have no idea what tempeh is, but that looks delicious!

June 21, 2010 at 12:26 pmI love goat cheese, but with tempeh and jam?! I’m… skeptical.
Kaz
June 21, 2010 at 12:29 pmI wouldn’t dare come between a girl and her jam. 😀
Whoa, that sandwich looks phenomenal!

June 21, 2010 at 12:38 pmYou make me really, really want to overcome my fear of tempeh. That looks divine.

June 21, 2010 at 12:39 pmI loooove goat cheese, tempeh, and JAM! this sounds right up my alley. I’ve never seen the WF sandwich rolls – I’ll have to look for em!
Camille
June 21, 2010 at 12:39 pmOooh, so good looking!
Tempeh is my newest obsession. I love it!
Jen

Freya @ Brit Chick Runs

Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit!
June 21, 2010 at 12:44 pmI would never, ever, ever, never, ever come up with this combination. It sounds intriguing!

June 21, 2010 at 12:47 pmHi Jenna,
I may have missed this in past posts, but where do you buy your Tempeh? Is it sold at TJs?
Thanks!
Laura

June 21, 2010 at 5:21 pmI’m not Jenna but yes, it’s sold at Trader Joes.
Laura

June 21, 2010 at 12:56 pmI’ve never understood the cheese and jam combo…..maybe now I do!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down)
June 21, 2010 at 1:05 pmI never understood the whole jam, tempeh and cheese combo thing until I actually tried it. It’s absolutely delicious. 😀
Leah @ Simply Fabulous
June 21, 2010 at 1:11 pmI can’t wait to have goats cheese again! I’ve had to give it up during my pregnancy but with baby coming this week, you can bet i’ll be buying some SOON! 🙂
Krystina
June 21, 2010 at 1:24 pmI LOVE tempeh/jam sandwiches. I add dijon and spinach/greens to mine.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine
June 21, 2010 at 1:27 pmThis combo always makes my mouth water, but for some reason I never have all of the ingredients on hand at the same time. Oh, and licking the jam jar = totally acceptable.
Heather (Heather's Dish)
June 21, 2010 at 1:36 pmhahaha…i’m not getting in your way on that one! i would pity the fool who dare try to stop me from doing that 🙂
Claire
June 21, 2010 at 1:42 pmI keep hearing about raw tempeh sandwiches and have yet to try it! This looks and sounds great lady!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
June 21, 2010 at 1:46 pmI’m not sure I’d try tempeh just yet, but goat cheese and jam? Yes!

June 21, 2010 at 2:16 pmI sooooo wish I wasn’t allergic to soy! Your sammie looks delish!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg
June 21, 2010 at 2:31 pmGoat cheese + jam is SUCH a great combo. Actually, goat cheese + anything is a good combo. I’m pretty sure goat cheese + dog poop is a good combo.
Kristen @ Change of Pace
June 21, 2010 at 2:41 pmCheese and jam is just heavenly! 🙂
Lisa (bakebikeblog)
June 21, 2010 at 2:59 pmoooh what an interesting combo! I just can’t seem to get a taste for tempeh though…..
Kellie
June 21, 2010 at 3:07 pmI put jam on everything. Sandwiches, oatmeal, bananas. The list is truly endless.
Katherine
June 21, 2010 at 3:12 pmthose cherries in the back look tempting
Kelly
June 21, 2010 at 3:14 pmI ate this last week except it was on one piece of Ezekiel with laughing cow cheese and Crofter’s superfruit Asia jam. Great minds think alike!
Susan
June 21, 2010 at 3:34 pmI love coming to your blog and seeing your wonderful creations, I know everybody says it – but I get tired of seeing some of the same breakfasts or dinners over and over again…
Monique
June 21, 2010 at 3:41 pmI really need to try this cheese and jam combo 🙂
Staceyhttp://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/
June 21, 2010 at 4:09 pmYour funny, that does look really good.
Alyssa
June 21, 2010 at 4:14 pmJenna,
That looks flippin’ amazing! I had tempeh for the first time yesterday because for some reason I never thought it was gluten free! I will have to try that sammich on some of my GF bread or perhaps wrap. I have some fig goat cheese, so I will throw that on there instead…i’m sure it’s gonna rock my world 🙂

June 21, 2010 at 4:18 pmYour blog lately seems repetitive and honestly really boring. I don’t know how any one would want to comment on picture of a sandwich ???
Jenny
June 21, 2010 at 4:27 pmYou kind of just did, Kate.
Rachel
June 21, 2010 at 6:25 pmI don’t know why anyone would bother taking time out of their day to leave a nasty comment just because they didn’t like the blog content. Move on if that’s the case.
R @ learningasichop.wordpress.com
June 21, 2010 at 4:41 pmNot a combination I would think to try but cheese and jam always sound good to me
Laura (Starloz)
June 21, 2010 at 4:44 pmI’m not feeling this sandwich. i dont love cheese
Kristin (Cook, Bake and Nibble)
June 21, 2010 at 4:56 pmYum! Tempeh & Jam were meant to be 😀
Allie
June 21, 2010 at 5:00 pmheh. i lick the jam jar with the blinds open. glad i’m not the only one!
Cara
June 21, 2010 at 6:48 pmSo jealous..that looks delish!
I wish I could find tempeh somewhere.
SallyH
June 21, 2010 at 8:45 pmI so want to like tempeh because that really offers so many more options to my veggie eating, but, ugh! Someone please tell me what is to like about it??
And, um, Kate #33, I’m going to give you the attention you obviously crave and answer: because a tempeh, cheese and jam sandwich isn’t something most people would think of or try without this post–as you can tell from the comments above. That’s the point of a food blog. To talk about food.
Alycia @ Fit n Fresh
June 22, 2010 at 4:02 amYUM! I’ve been on a jam and cheese sandwich kick lately too! Why however did you know? (:
Annie D. @ Annie's Simple Life
June 22, 2010 at 7:27 amFor whatever reason I just can’t get my head around a sweet tempeh sandwich!! I’m soooo needing to try this.
Kristen
June 22, 2010 at 10:51 amI just tried this combo using organic tempeh, goat cheddar, and swiss raspberry jam. I’m pretty sure I am in love. I can’t wait for dinner so I can eat this again… 😉
Liz
September 21, 2010 at 2:17 pmWhoa… saw the reference to this in your latest post about baking rolls. I thought….eew, tempeh and jam!? Okay, I can see the goat cheese and jam… but tempeh… just never thought of as something to go with something sweet. But I trust you. If you say it is good, I will try it!
