Description

Ingredients
Bread and Spread
- 3 slices wholegrain or rye toast
- 3 tbsp ready-made houmous
Fillings
- 1 small avocado (100g), stoned and sliced
- 1 handful rocket leaves
- 8–12 cherry tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- Toast bread: Toast the three slices of wholegrain or rye bread until golden and crispy. This will add texture and provide a sturdy base for the sandwich layers.
- Spread houmous: Evenly spread 3 tablespoons of ready-made houmous over one side of each toasted bread slice. The houmous adds creaminess and binds the sandwich ingredients together.
- Assemble first layer: On one slice of the houmous-coated bread, arrange half of the sliced avocado, a handful of rocket leaves, and half of the sliced cherry tomatoes. Season lightly with freshly ground pepper for added flavor.
- Add second bread slice: Place another slice of houmous-spread bread on top of the first layer. This acts as a middle layer, adding bulk and more spread.
- Assemble second layer: Repeat the layering by piling the remaining avocado slices, rocket leaves, and cherry tomatoes on top of the second bread slice. Again, season with pepper to taste.
- Top with final bread slice: Cover the sandwich with the third slice of toasted bread spread with houmous, creating a stacked club sandwich.
- Serve and enjoy: Optionally cut the sandwich into halves or quarters for easier eating and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado for the best texture and flavor.
- Wholegrain or rye bread adds nutritional value and complements the fresh ingredients well.
- Season with black pepper only, as salt may draw excess moisture from the tomatoes and avocado.
- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice to avocado to prevent browning if preparing ahead.
- This sandwich is best eaten fresh to maintain crunchiness of the toast and freshness of the greens.
