Mediterranean Sandwiches

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced or pushed through a press
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 cup cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
8 slices low carb white bread, lightly toasted
4 roasted red pepper halves (jarred are fine; pat dry before using)

1. Heat broiler.  In a microwaveable cup, microwave oil, garlic, and cumin seeds until aromatic, 20 to 30 seconds.  Combine oil with beans in food processor, and blend to a thick paste.

2. Mix bean pasted with cheese in a bowl.  Mixture will be thick.  Spread evenly on 4 slices of toast.  Arrange on a baking sheet and broil 4 inches from heat source for 30 to 50 seconds, just until golden.  Top with enough roasted pepper halves (or pieces) to cover in a single layer; top with remaining toast slices.  Serve at room temperature.
