Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup spinach
- Olive oil for grilling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 4 slices of bread, 4 oz of goat cheese, 1/2 avocado sliced, 1 cup of spinach, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. You want it hot enough to toast the bread while melting the cheese.
- While the skillet is heating, spread the goat cheese evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the inside of your sandwich.
- On two of the slices of bread (goat cheese side up), layer the sliced avocado evenly over the cheese.
- Add a generous handful of fresh spinach on top of the avocado slices, ensuring an even distribution.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the spinach to enhance the flavors.
- Top the sandwiches with the remaining two slices of bread, goat cheese side down, creating two complete sandwiches.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil onto the preheated skillet or grill pan, making sure to coat the surface evenly.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet, pressing down slightly to ensure even grilling.
- Cook the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwiches over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the goat cheese is melted.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half.
- Serve the Green Goat Grilled Sandwiches warm, optionally with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or salad.
Tips
- Use room temperature goat cheese for easier spreading and more even melting
- Choose a high-quality, crusty bread like sourdough or artisan white for the best texture
- Make sure your skillet or grill pan is preheated to medium heat to achieve that perfect golden-brown crispiness
- Press down gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure even toasting and cheese melting
- For extra flavor, consider adding a light sprinkle of herbs like thyme or basil before grilling
- Let the sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow the cheese to set and flavors to meld
