Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain sandwich bread (vegan-certified)
- 2 slices Vegan cheese slices
- 2 teaspoons Vegan butter or margarine
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 0.25 piece Avocado, mashed
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Lay out the two slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1 teaspoon of vegan butter or margarine on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the side that faces outward for toasting.
Flip the slices over and spread the mashed avocado evenly on the unbuttered side of one slice.
Layer the vegan cheese slices on top of the avocado, followed by the baby spinach and tomato slices.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper for added flavor.
Place the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing outward.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure an even toasting.
Flip the sandwich carefully and toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the vegan cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and cut it in half to serve.
