Ingredients
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Arugula leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the halloumi cheese into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the halloumi slices on the pan without adding any oil. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 3
While the halloumi is grilling, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, then stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin slices and set aside.
Step 5
Toast the whole grain bread slices using a toaster or grill pan until golden brown.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
Step 7
On two of the slices, layer the grilled halloumi, followed by the tomato and cucumber slices, and finish with a handful of arugula leaves.
Step 8
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, avocado side down.
Step 9
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
