Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain rye bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic clove
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup arugula
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the slices of rye bread with olive oil on both sides and place them on a baking sheet.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic, then rub it over the oiled bread for additional flavor.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, cut the cherry tomatoes into halves and set aside.
Pit and slice the avocado; drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese with the salt and black pepper to combine.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and set it on a serving plate.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
Layer the prosciutto slices over the cream cheese.
Place arugula leaves over the prosciutto, followed by the basil leaves.
Arrange the avocado slices and cherry tomato halves on top.
Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and an additional dash of black pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet low-carb open-faced sandwich.
