Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dairy-free halloumi-style cheese
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 1 medium Fresh tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the dairy-free halloumi-style cheese into 1/4-inch thick slabs.
Brush the cheese slices with olive oil on both sides.
Place the cheese slabs on the preheated grill pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
While the cheese is grilling, prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, removing the pit, and scooping out the flesh. Mash the avocado in a small bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
To assemble the sandwiches, start by spreading the mashed avocado mixture generously on each slice of whole-grain bread.
Layer grilled halloumi, tomato slices, red onion rounds, fresh basil leaves, and mixed greens on two slices of bread.
Top each with another slice of bread to close the sandwich.
Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.
