Ingredients

  • 4 slices whole grain bread
  • 1/2 avocado thinly sliced
  • 1 tomatillo or green tomato thinly sliced
  • 2 slices each havarti and mozzarella cheese
  • Handful baby spinach
  • Handful alfalfa sprouts
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Pickles & ketchup to serve

Instructions

  • Place sliced avocado on top of each slice of bread. Top with 1 slice havarti cheese. Top with tomatillo, then 1 slice mozzarella cheese. Add spinach, then top with 2 more slices havarti. Finally, add sprouts and last 2 slices of mozzarella. Top with final slice of bread
  • Meanwhile, butter a large frying pan and melt butter over low-medium heat.
  • When butter is melted, place each sandwich in the pan, and cover with fitting lid.
  • Cook for approx. 5 minutes per side and continue cooking and flipping until cheese is fully melted. Serve and enjoy with pickles and ketchup.

Notes

Put a fitting lid overtop of the skillet so the cheese melts perfectly.
Swap out any of the veggies for other green veggies like broccoli or asparagus.
Use another kind of white cheese – Swiss and Monterey Jack would both be delicious!
Store your leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days then reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat.
