Avocado Pesto Sandwich


This is probably the simplest and yet, one of the most decadent Avocado Pesto Sandwich I have ever put together! The sandwich is made with toasted whole-wheat bread with fresh mozzarella and slathered with a generous portion of avocado pesto. Simplicity at its best.

Avocado Pesto Sandwich

Ingredients

1 Large Avocado, mashed
3 Tbsp Pesto
Lemon Juice
Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
200 g (1 Ball) Fresh Mozzarella, sliced into 8 pieces
4 Slices Whole-Wheat Bread

About ½ Tbsp of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the mashed avocado, Pesto, mix well and season with lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil. Place the bread slices, oiled side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Layer Mozzarella on two slices of bread and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted. Remove from the oven and slathered avocado pesto on the bread and press the sandwiches together firmly.

Serves 2

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
