Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 2 slices Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 handful Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium Tomato
- 0.25 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Hummus
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread lightly until just golden on both sides.
2. While the bread is toasting, prepare the fillings. Thinly slice the tomato and scoop out and mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the mashed avocado, then mix well.
3. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
4. Layer the sandwich: Start with a handful of baby spinach leaves on one slice of bread (hummus side up), then lay 2 slices of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top.
5. Add the sliced tomatoes evenly over the cheese, followed by the mashed avocado.
6. Place the second slice of bread on top, hummus side down, to complete the sandwich.
7. If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the sandwich and lightly press down to hold all layers together.
8. For a warm, melty effect, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is golden brown. Serve immediately!
