Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Gouda cheese
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
Instructions
Prepare the tahini black bean hummus by combining the black beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices. Spread a thick layer of tahini black bean hummus on two of the slices.
Place two slices of gouda cheese on top of the hummus-covered bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to assemble the sandwiches.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outer sides of each sandwich (the sides that will touch the skillet).
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of salad or soup for a complete meal.
