Havarati Dill Grilled Cheese

Listen it's finals time, I need quick and I need good.

Ingredients:

1/4 avo
2 slices tomato
1 tsp. cajun spice
1/2 persian cucumber, sliced
2 tbsp. sun dried tomatoes
2 oz. dill havarati cheese (found it in TJ's)
a shake of salt and a few shakes of pepper

1 tsp. butter
1 tbsp. balsamic reduction
1/4 shallot, minced

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 375.

Spread the avocado onto one slice of multigrain bread, top it with the cajun seasoning. Then, layer the sun- dried tomatoes, slices of cucumber, then the havarati dill cheese, top with sliced tomato some salt and pepper.

Now comes the "hard" part. Mix together 1 tsp. of softened butter (in small amounts butter is fine, contrary to popular belief, but if the butter scares you too much, by all means use smart/earth balance) with the shallot and balsamic reduction (see my post about eggplant seitan Parmesan where there is an explanation- I had some already made) or sub for regular balsamic vinegar. Then spread that on the top piece of bread, close the sandwich. Spray the top and bottom with cooking spray or rub a small amount of olive oil on each side, this helps get the bread extra crunchy. Put it in the oven and toast for about 5-10 minutes.

The havarati cheese melts soo well into major ooey gooey cheesy satisfaction.

Plus, these plates make me so happy during finals.

Serves 1. Enjoy!
