Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices gluten-free bread
- 0.5 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons soft cheese (such as cream cheese or goat cheese)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives
- 0.5 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Start by toasting the gluten-free bread slices to your desired crispness.
While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of half an avocado into a small bowl.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado, and mash together with a fork until smooth.
Spread the soft cheese evenly onto one of the toasted bread slices.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly onto the other toasted bread slice.
Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the avocado spread.
Layer baby spinach leaves on top of the chives, pressing gently to adhere to the avocado.
Drizzle olive oil over the spinach leaves for added flavor.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the soft cheese slice on top of the avocado and spinach slice, cheese side down.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
