Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices gluten-free bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese
- 4 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the gluten-free bread slices.
Peel the garlic clove and lightly crush it. Rub the garlic over the surface of the bread slices to flavor the bread.
Grill the bread slices in the preheated pan for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add a touch more olive oil if necessary and sauté the baby spinach for about 1 minute until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and well combined.
Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado onto each piece of grilled bread.
Distribute the wilted spinach evenly over the avocado layer.
Place the halved cherry tomatoes on top, followed by dollops of soft goat cheese.
Finish by placing fresh basil leaves on top of each sandwich.
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
