Ingredients

• 2 slices Whole-grain bread
• 2 slices Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 handful Baby spinach leaves
• 0.5 medium Tomato
• 0.25 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Hummus
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread lightly until just golden on both sides.

Step 2

2. While the bread is toasting, prepare the fillings. Thinly slice the tomato and scoop out and mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the mashed avocado, then mix well.

Step 3

3. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on one side of each slice of toasted bread.

Step 4

4. Layer the sandwich: Start with a handful of baby spinach leaves on one slice of bread (hummus side up), then lay 2 slices of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5

5. Add the sliced tomatoes evenly over the cheese, followed by the mashed avocado.

Step 6

6. Place the second slice of bread on top, hummus side down, to complete the sandwich.

Step 7

7. If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the sandwich and lightly press down to hold all layers together.

Step 8

8. For a warm, melty effect, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is golden brown. Serve immediately!
