Ingredients
- 4 slices whole wheat or 7-grain bread
- 2 tablespoon softened butter, plus additional 2 tablespoons for cooking
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounce softened laura chenel original log goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
Directions
- Spread one side of each bread slice with butter, ensuring you reach all the way to the edges. Set aside.
- Lightly mash the avocado with the salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the goat cheese and herbs.
- For each sandwich, layer 1 bread slice (butter-side down), 1/4 of the goat cheese mixture, 1/2 of the avocado mixture, 1/2 of the spinach, and another 1/4 of the goat cheese, then top with the remaining bread slice, butter-side up.
- Melt 1-2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium low. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, then cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until the bread is golden, checking often to see that the bread doesn’t burn.
- Flip the sandwiches to the other side and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the center of each sandwich is hot.
- Let cool slightly and enjoy immediately.
