Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large tomato
• 0.5 cucumber
• 0.25 red onion
• 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 4 ounces fresh mozzarella
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth. Mix in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste, then set aside.

Step 3

Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds. Slice the red onion into very thin rings. Pat the fresh mozzarella dry with a paper towel, then cut it into thin slices.

Step 4

Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on one side of each sourdough slice.

Step 5

On two of the bread slices, layer the tomato slices, cucumber slices, red onion rings, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves.

Step 6

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the layered ingredients. Add a small drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

Step 7

Close the sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, avocado side down.

Step 8

Optionally, cut the sandwiches in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve immediately and enjoy your Ultimate Summer Sandwich!
