RECIPES:
Sasha’s Grilled Goat Cheese with Lemon Garlic Tomatoes and Avocado
INGREDIENTS
• 4 slices Country white bread
• 1/2 avocado, sliced.
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat up olive oil over low to medium heat. Add garlic and sautee for a couple of minutes until soft. Take care not to burn the garlic because the taste will turn from sweet to bitter. Add the lemon juice, stir, then add your tomato slices. Cook the tomatoes for a couple of minutes on each side. You want them to get soft but not so soft that they are falling apart. Set aside, pouring most of the garlic lemon sauce over them to marinate but leaving some in the pan for grilling the sandwiches.
2. Assemble the sandwiches, making sure to include some garlic lemon sauce when adding the tomatoes.
3. Grill the sandwiches over medium heat. You may need to add more olive oil to the pan. I like to put some heavy jars or another pan on top of the sandwich to press it down while grilling. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
4. Eat immediately.
