Ingredients
Bread & Cheese
- 4 slices Dave's Killer Bread Organic Seeded Honey Wheat
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
Vegetables & Spreads
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 4 tablespoons mashed avocado (mixed with 1 tsp fresh lemon juice and salt to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
Chive and Onion Spread
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Chive and Onion Spread: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the softened cream cheese, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, chopped green onions, fresh chives, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined. Set this spread aside and reserve until needed.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the four slices of Dave's Killer Bread until they are slightly crisp but not hard. Allow the toasted bread to cool slightly before assembling the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of toasted bread, spread a thin, even layer of the prepared chive and onion spread. Layer on the spinach leaves, slices of pepper jack and Swiss cheese, mashed avocado mixed with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice and salt to taste, thin cucumber slices, tomato slices, and alfalfa sprouts. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the assembled ingredients for added crunch and flavor.
- Finish the Sandwich: Spread a thin layer of the chive and onion spread on another slice of toasted bread and place it on top of the layered ingredients. Gently press the sandwich together, then slice in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the cream cheese and cheeses with plant-based alternatives and use a vegan yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of avocado and lemon juice to taste for desired creaminess and acidity.
- Sunflower seeds add nice texture and may be omitted or substituted with nuts or seeds of choice.
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- To save time, prepare the chive and onion spread in advance and refrigerate.
