Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Soft ricotta cheese
- 0.5 medium Ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach
- 2 slices Tomato
Instructions
Begin by lightly toasting the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop one half into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine and set aside.
Take the toasted bread and spread 1 tablespoon of soft ricotta cheese evenly on each slice.
Layer the mashed avocado mixture on top of the ricotta-covered bread slices.
Place a layer of fresh spinach leaves over the avocado on one slice of the bread, followed by two slices of tomato.
Close the sandwich by placing the other slice of bread on top, ricotta and avocado side down.
Gently press the sandwich together, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
