READY IN: 30 Minutes

PORTIONS:  4

INGREDIENTS:

8 slices thick sliced french or white bread

4 Tbsp butter, softened (salted or unsalted, whichever you prefer)

4 Tbsp mayonnaise

12-16 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded or thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach, leaves

4 asparagus spears, thinly shaved

1/2 cup micro green sprouts, (optional)

1/2 cup green goddess spread (see below)

GREEN GODDESS SPREAD

1/4 cup minced chives

2 Tbsp Minced fresh tarragon

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp anchovy paste, optional

3 Tbsp mayonnaise

1/2 cup packed baby spinach leaves, minced

DIRECTIONS:

1.Make the green goddess spread: Mix all ingredients in a bowl until fully incorporated, set aside.

2.Mix the butter and mayo together in a small bowl. Spread 1 side of each piece of bread with 1 tablespoon (or more) of the butter/mayo mixture.

3.Heat a frying pan to medium-low heat. Place a slice of bread, butter side down in the pan. Top with 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or thin layer of cheese slices (whichever you prefer). Top the cheese layer with 1/4 of the avocado slices, followed by 1/4 of the spinach, 1/4 of the asparagus, 1/4 of the sprouts and another 1/4 cup shredded cheese or more sliced mozzarella.

4.Spread 2 tablespoons of the green goddess spread onto the non-buttered side of one of the remaining slices of buttered bread. Place the slice of bread spread down on the sandwich in the pan.

5.Turn the heat to medium. Place a lid on the pan if desired to help trap the heat and melt the cheese. Flip when a golden crust is achieved on the bottom of the sandwich and the cheese is melted on the bottom. Grill both sides of each sandwich and repeat 3 more times with remaining ingredients.
