Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt-free seasoning blend
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth and spreadable. Add the salt-free seasoning blend and mix well.
Step 2
Lay the two slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 3
Place the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the avocado spread on one of the slices.
Step 4
Spread the fresh spinach leaves over the cheese slice, ensuring it's evenly distributed to cover the cheese completely.
Step 5
Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, avocado side facing inwards.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use the olive oil spray to lightly coat the skillet.
Step 7
Place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on one side or until golden brown and crisp, pressing down gently with a spatula occasionally.
Step 8
Spray a bit more olive oil in the skillet if necessary, then flip the sandwich carefully. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting it in half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
