Grilled Avocado Sandwich

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 large, ripe avocado, preferably Hass or another "fatty" one
4 slices of sandwich bread (whatever kind you like)
vegan "buttery" spread
optional: whole grain mustard, vegan mayo

Directions:

Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Slice into thin wedges. Set aside.

Spread the buttery spread on one side of all the bread slices. Place one slice, buttery side down, in a preheated frying pan over medium-low heat. If you want to add vegan mayo, mustard, or other "dressings" now is the time! Otherwise, lay the avocado slices from one half of the avocado on the bread, covering well. Place another slice of bread, buttered side up, on top. Let cook 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden to your liking. Carefully flip the sandwich over and grill the other side 3-5 minutes. Repeat the above to make the second sandwich.

This is best when you have a really fatty, good avocado (like Hass). If you use a Florida or other "low fat" or "wet" avocado the flavor is still there but it isn't as good in my opinion. This goes well with soup.

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Oh, wow! This is awesome! Now, Myles doesn't like avocadoes, so since it was easy to make him a regular grilled cheese, I just did that for him. Everyone else though had one of these, and they were a big hit! I even put sauteed onions on mine. It was so good! It was perfect with the split pea soup too!

For the purpose of texture, I mashed up the avos and spread it on the bread.

Jacob actually wouldn't touch it, but I think he would like it if he would try it. The other two asked for more, so we'll definitely be making this again soon! I forgot to put mayo on any of them, but it was so good without. If I can remember next time though, I think mayo would be really great with it!
