This zucchini and avocado grilled cheese sandwich indicates how you can add a little green to a standard lunch staple. Created by the blog Stacey Homemaker, the recipe is quick and easy to put together as well.
In addition to avocado and zucchini, the garlicky and crispy sandwich is also packed with tomato, spinach and a pesto spread. This really takes the avocado grilled cheese sandwich to new heights and transforms a midday meal you've probably had a million times before. To make your own, you will need multigrain bread, havarti cheese, garlic powder and either grape seed or olive oil. Stacey used a Misto oil sprayer to coat the sandwich before placing in a George Foreman Grill.
