Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Low sodium bacon
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 slices Gouda cheese
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the low sodium bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
Peel and slice the avocado, and then slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Begin assembling the sandwich: place one slice of Gouda cheese on the buttered side of two bread slices.
Add two slices of bacon on top of each Gouda slice, followed by avocado slices, tomato slices, and a lettuce leaf.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the fillings for added flavor.
Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of toast, buttered side facing down, to complete the sandwich.
Optionally, you can return the assembled sandwich to the skillet over medium heat to lightly melt the cheese, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Bacon Gouda Sandwich.
