Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Cheese

  • 4 slices Dave’s Killer Bread Organic Seeded Honey Wheat
  • 2 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese

Vegetables and Greens

  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Spreads and Seeds

  • 4 tablespoons mashed avocado (mixed with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice and salt to taste)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chive and Onion Spread: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, chopped green onions, chopped fresh chives, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside until needed to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast all four slices of Dave’s Killer Bread until golden but still soft to the touch. Allow them to cool slightly to prevent spreading issues.
  3. Spread the Base Layer: On one toasted slice, spread a thin, even layer of the prepared chive and onion spread, ensuring coverage to the edges to enhance flavor.
  4. Build the Veggie and Cheese Layers: Layer the spinach evenly over the spread, then add the pepper jack and Swiss cheese slices. Next, spread the mashed avocado mixture over the cheese layer, followed by arranging thin slices of cucumber and Roma tomato. Top with alfalfa sprouts to add a crunchy freshness.
  5. Add Sunflower Seeds: Sprinkle the tablespoon of sunflower seeds evenly over the sprouts for a nutty crunch and additional texture.
  6. Top with Second Spread Layer and Bread: On another toasted bread slice, spread a thin layer of the chive and onion spread as before, then carefully place this slice spread-side down over the layered veggies and cheese to complete the sandwich.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Press the sandwich slightly to combine the layers, cut diagonally if desired, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For vegan variation, swap cheeses and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives and use a vegan yogurt.
  • Adjust the amount of avocado and lemon juice to taste for creaminess and brightness.
  • Sunflower seeds add crunch but can be omitted for nut-free preferences.
  • Use fresh, high-quality produce to maximize flavor and nutrition.
