- 4 leaves crisp lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Spicy Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Sriracha or hot sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including bread, avocados, lettuce, tomato, and ingredients for the spicy mayo to have them ready for assembly.
- Prepare Spicy Mayo: Mix mayonnaise with sriracha or your choice of hot sauce until well combined, adjusting spice level to preference.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spread the prepared spicy mayo evenly over the slices of whole grain bread. Then layer slices of ripe avocado, followed by crisp lettuce leaves and fresh tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Toast Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil if desired. Toast the assembled sandwich in the skillet until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, sprinkle with sesame seeds, cut in half, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for best texture.
- Adjust the amount of spicy mayo based on your heat preference.
- Olive oil is optional for toasting; it adds extra flavor and crispness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
- Adding thinly sliced onions or cucumber can add refreshing crunch.
