Here is the recipe for my avocado and sun-dried tomato sandwich.
Ingredients
For 2 people
-
1 ripe avocado
-
1 tbsp of sun-dried tomatoes cut into small pieces
-
A few fresh basil leaves
-
1 cup baby spinach
-
A pinch of garlic salt
-
A pinch of pepper
-
1 pinch of crushed chili peppers
-
4 thick slices of sliced bread
-
Garlic Flavored Olive Oil
In a bowl, roughly mash the avocado. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, crushed chili peppers, garlic salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Wash and spin dry 1 cup of baby spinach and 5-6 fresh basil leaves.
Brush one side of each slice of bread with thegarlic oill.
Preheat a cast iron skillet with raised ridges (OK! It's just for looks!! A regular skillet will do just fine!)
Assemble the sandwiches on a plate. Spread half of the mixture on one slice of bread, add half of the spinach and half of the basil leaves. Close with the 2nd slice of bread. Repeat the process for the 2nd sandwich.
Cook in the cast iron skillet for about 1 minute on each side.
When the sandwiches are nicely toasted, they are ready to serve!
