Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Arugula leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by slicing the halloumi cheese into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the halloumi slices on the pan without adding any oil. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the halloumi is grilling, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, then stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin slices and set aside.
Toast the whole grain bread slices using a toaster or grill pan until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
On two of the slices, layer the grilled halloumi, followed by the tomato and cucumber slices, and finish with a handful of arugula leaves.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, avocado side down.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
