Sandwich Day!
"Can I share with you my worldview? All of humankind has one thing in common: the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.” -Liz Lemon, 30 RockWho doesn't love sandwiches? This is our newest favorite, very easy to make and I'm sure could be embellished upon, hmm, think sun-dried tomatoes or roast chicken. Nom nom nom.
Avocado-Pesto Panini (Makes: 2 servings/sandwiches)
4 slices sourdough bread (or italian or ciabatta)
2 tablespoons butter
1 avocado
2 handfulls baby spinach leaves
crumbled feta cheese
8 oz. basil pesto
1. Spread the basil pesto on one side of each the bread slices, then crumble feta cheese over.
2. Slice avocado in half, use a spoon to loosen the flesh away from skin and make long slices down the avocado. Distribute 1/2 of avocado per sandwich.
3. Put small handful of baby spinach leaves on other bread slice.
4. "Assemble" your sandwich. Get a medium or large skillet and place over medium heat. When heated, melt 1/2 tablespoon in the skillet.
5. When butter is melted and foam has subsided, place your sandwich in the skillet. Or if you have a panini press, use it. Press down on the sandwich with a large spatula. Or, you can put a plate upside down, over the sandwich and weigh it down with a can to distribute the weight. Do so for 2-4 minutes.
6. When toasted, transfer to a plate. Put another 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the skillet and melt, then flip the sandwich back into the skillet. Cook under skillet or plate for 1-2 minutes until toasted.
7. Repeat with second sandwich. Serve!
