Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon light mayo
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 slice colby jack cheese
  • 6 leaves spinach
  • 2 slices tomatoes
  • 1/2 avocado avocado

Instructions
 

  • Begin by cutting up your avocado and tomatoes. Aim for thin slices to make layering easier.
  • Next, take your sourdough bread. Butter each slice generously on one side. This will help achieve that perfect crispy texture when grilled.
  • Spread a thin layer of light mayo on the unbuttered side of each slice for added creaminess and flavor.
  • Now it’s time to build your sandwich. Start by placing a slice of colby jack cheese on the mayo side of one slice.
  • Add a handful of spinach over the cheese. This adds a nice green crunch to your panini.
  • Next, layer on the tomato slices. Make sure to distribute them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Now, add the second slice of colby jack cheese on top of the tomatoes. This will help to hold the sandwich together when melted.
  • Finally, place the avocado slices on top, and top it with the second piece of sourdough bread, mayo side down.
  • Heat your skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place your assembled sandwich on the skillet. If you have a panini maker, you can use that instead.
  • Cook for about three to four minutes on each side, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese is melted. Make sure to press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
  • Once done, remove the sandwich from the heat and let it sit for a minute before slicing. This will help everything settle and prevent a cheesy mess when you cut it.
  • Slice it in half, serve warm, and enjoy your homemade Veggie Panini!

Notes

If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
