Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Cheese

  • 4 slices Dave’s Killer Bread 21 Whole Grains and Seeds
  • 4 ounces herbed goat cheese at room temperature

Vegetables and Toppings

  • 2 Romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 1/2 large cucumber, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup alfalfa sprouts
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread and cheese: Spread the herbed goat cheese evenly on one side of each slice of the bread to create a smooth, flavorful base for the sandwich fillings.
  2. Assemble the sandwich fillings: On one slice of bread, start by layering the romaine lettuce leaves, followed by the sliced cucumber and avocado. Drizzle a little fresh lemon juice over the cucumbers and avocados to enhance their flavors and prevent browning.
  3. Add sprouts and season: Sprinkle the alfalfa sprouts on top of the avocado layer, then season the entire assemblage with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
  4. Complete the sandwich: Place another slice of bread, goat cheese side down, on top of the fillings to form a sandwich. Press gently to hold everything together.
  5. Repeat and serve: Repeat the assembly process for the second sandwich. Serve the sandwiches immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • If you cannot find herbed goat cheese, mix fresh herbs such as chives, dill, or parsley into plain goat cheese for an easy substitute.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed the day it is made to maintain the freshness of the avocado and crispness of the vegetables.
  • To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, avoid adding too much lemon juice and serve promptly.
