MOVE OVER GRILLED CHEESE! this Veggie Sandwich is about to rock your world!!!
ya'll are goinggg tooo loooveee thissss!!! (I was kinda singing that in my head while typing it hahaha)
but really this is the best alternative to a grilled cheese... it's wayyy healthier and packed full of good-for-you nutrients! BUT if you really want a grill cheese try my Vegan Grilled Cheese that will knock your socks off too!
anyways back to this Veggie Sandwich... it's got buttery bread (fried in a pan just like a grilled cheese) and then I spread avocado on it and topped it with sauteed spinach, tomato, and mushrooms)
a lil tip on the avocado though... BE PATIENT with it, I am the worst I repeat the WORST at waiting for the avocado to be fully ripe! ... If I'm eating it plain it doesn't really matter but when I go to spread it on something like bread... it just points out to myself how impatient I can be sometimes... (if it's not ripe enough, it won't spread on the bread very easy like butter)
it will still taste amazing but you might smash a whole in your bread while trying to spread it... ok so another tip, if it's not ripe and your impatient like me... slice it and put it on the bread instead! 😉 works just as good and tastes just as good... 😉
so go on, try this and feel great about eating something so healthy that tastes amazing!!!
have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Lovely idea! Veggie sandwiches are such bliss, they make the perfect lunch <3
And looool about the avo's....I tend to be a little *too* patient and end up digging out rotten ones from the fridge!! There aren't enough opportunities to use them on a day to day basis w/out having to cook something somehow! 😮 🙁
