Avocado Strawberry + Goat Cheese Sandwich

Avocado Strawberry + Goat Cheese Sandwich [cold]

• 2 slices of bread [my favorite GF brand is Udi’s]
• 1 avocado
• 4 medium strawberries, thinly sliced
• 2-4T goat’s milk mozzarella, crumbled
• 1t lemon juice
• 1/8t salt
• black pepper + sea salt to top

1. Toast the bread and place on a cooling rack [avoids sogginess] to stay crisp but not hot. 
2. Mash the avocado with a fork and then mash in the lemon juice + salt.
3. Add as much avocado to the toast as desired and add 1 layer of thinly sliced strawberries.
4. Top with salt, pepper, and about 1T crumbled goat cheese per slice.

notes: Amount of bread needed will vary depending on desired amount of avocado used + size of bread.  Use more strawberries if needed.  Omit cheese for a vegan option.

• 1t unrefined coconut oil
• 1T balsamic vinegar

1. Toast the bread and place on a cooling rack [avoids sogginess] to stay crisp but not hot. 
2. Turn your oven on to broil.
3. Mash the avocado with a fork and then mash in the lemon juice + salt.
4. Add oil to a small pan over medium heat. 
5. Once hot, add the strawberries + balsamic, cooking for 3-5min until softened but not falling apart.  Stir/flip a few times.
6. Add as much avocado to the toast as desired and add 1 layer of cooked strawberries.
7. Top with a thin layer of goat cheese.
8. Broil until melted, about 1-3min.  If you’re using more of a crumbly goat cheese, be careful it doesn’t burn.
