Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium, ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 slices almond flour bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices smoked turkey slices
- 0.5 cup arugula

Instructions
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Toast the almond flour bread slices until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Turn off the heat and top each toasted bread slice with shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
On top of the cheese, evenly layer the smoked turkey slices, followed by the mashed avocado spread.
Garnish with fresh arugula, cherry tomato halves, and a couple of basil leaves on each sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy this rich and flavorful open-faced sandwich.
