Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature.
- Slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh into a small bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined, creating a spicy mayo spread.
- Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until they are golden brown and have a crisp exterior.
- Spread the spicy sriracha mayo evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- On two of the bread slices, spread the mashed avocado as a base layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the avocado layer.
- Close the sandwich by placing the remaining bread slices on top, mayo side down.
- Optional: If desired, lightly press the sandwich or cut diagonally for easier handling.
- Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and the cheese is slightly melted.
Tips
- Choose the Right Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best flavor and texture. It should yield slightly when pressed but not feel mushy.
- Customize Your Cheese: Experiment with different types of cheese to find your perfect match. Cheddar, pepper jack, or even a creamy goat cheese can elevate the flavor profile.
- Toast to Perfection: For an extra crunch, consider using a panini press or grill to toast your sandwich after assembling it. This will also help melt the cheese beautifully.
- Add Extra Veggies: For added nutrition and flavor, consider adding sliced tomatoes, spinach, or even pickled jalapeños to your sandwich.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your sandwich with a side of fresh salad or crispy veggie sticks for a complete meal that’s both healthy and satisfying.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the sriracha mayo and mashed avocado ahead of time to save on prep time during busy days.
- Adjust the Spice Level: Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha in the mayo to suit your taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with less and add more as needed.
