The return of the extreme heat has also led to the return of my mini-cooking hiatus, so I've busted out all of my favorite no-cook (or microwave only) recipes once again. Today's Meatless Monday dish is a simple recipe that highlights my two favorite fruits: avocados and apples. This is right up there with my other favorite sandwich (I go back and forth between which is my favorite, but really, they're both totally delicious) - it's flavorful, easy to assemble, and perfect for those hot weather days in which you don't want to turn on the oven. :-)
Avocado, Apple & Brie Sandwich
Makes 1 serving
INGREDIENTS
1/2 avocado
4 small slices of Brie
1/2 sliced apple (I usually use Granny Smith or Jazz)

1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Romaine lettuce
DIRECTIONS
1. Toast the bread slices and then drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
2. Mash the avocado onto one of the bread slices.
3. Layer the Brie and apple slices on top of the avocado and top with the lettuce.

Hmm. This is a combination I've never had. Apples and brie, yes. But with avocado? Guess I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeletethese sound like really good flavors to put together. never tried it with the apple but that makes total sense.
ReplyDeleteGreat sandwich and combination of flavors.
ReplyDeleteThat is a tasty-looking sandwich. One step up from the avocado and tomato sandwiches which we really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds a little odd to pair the avocado with Brie & apples, but it's so delicious! I stumbled into the flavor combo by accident one day when I was eating a Brie/apple sandwich & some of my guacamole from the other side of the plate got on it. It led me down a path of playing with apples and avocado - they're so good together!
ReplyDeleteA crazy altercation that left you sans mirror?! Holy cow! People are definitely crazy on the roads -- I feel like I take my life in my hands every time I'm on the D.C. Beltway. Or on any local road, really.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of that sandwich -- and I feel you on not wanting to cook. It's 101 today -- nasty.
Sounds so good...I have the apples, got the brie...already scarfed my avocado so better make a run to the store!
ReplyDelete@Meg: I know, right?! Some people should not be allowed on the roads. Ever.
