Рецепт Sweet Potato and Avocado Sandwich
Do you ever wonder what we food bloggers do when we’re not cooking, eating, or photographing food?
Sleep. That’s what we do.
Just kidding. I, for one, do have hobbies outside of the Branny Boils Over. I guess the hobby that takes most my time is my animals. Can animals be a hobby? Ugh, yeah, they are our lifestyle. We even relocated to another state for our animals.
While I try not to think of us as crazy pet people, we will show up any place that is pet friendly with our two dogs in tow (it helps that they are TDI, International certified therapy dogs and very well trained).
Our cat has his own bedroom that he doesn’t even get kicked out of if guests visit.
So, you see how I feel about my pets. So, with hesitation, I post a picture that you’ll either be grossed out by or smitten by (I was smitten).
Obviously, with 5 permanent pets and various fosters, I’ve always got animals underfoot. You either learn to accept it or you drive yourself crazy. Sure, a stray kitty hair may have landed on my sandwich, but whatever! I got to spend a sweet bonding moment as I whisked him out of the kitchen and shut him in his room after he invaded my photo shoot.
Sometimes, with all these animals, a sandwich is all we have time to prepare when it comes to dinnertime. And if we’re going to settle for a sandwich for dinner, it isn’t going to be a ham and cheese or spam sandwich. We at least deserve some interesting options.
And the ingredients here were interesting for sure. The mustard scared me for a second, but it was perfect. Please give this a try!
- Sweet Potato and Avocado Sandwich (adapted from Five and Spice)
- 1 small-medium sweet potato, washed and cut into 1/2 inch thick round slices
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tbs. soft goat cheese (chevre)
- 1/2 tsp. dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. chopped herbs (chives, basil, thyme – or you can just buy herbed goat cheese, which I did)
- 4 slices of avocado
2 slices bread
Instructions
Heat your oven to 425 F.
Toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast until tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
Mix together the goat cheese with the mustard and herbs. Spread this on one of the pieces of bread.
Lay pieces of roast potato then avocado on top. Top with the other piece of bread.
Heat a panini grill and oil it lightly.
Grill the sandwich until marks appear, flipping halfway through.
