Mozzarella, Avocado, Tomato, Arugula & Mustard Toast

I really love toast. I think toasted bread  makes every sandwich better.  My brother is actually the one who schooled me on toasting my bread for sandwiches & layering the topping just so, so that when you cut through it there is a pretty cross section to display. This also feeds my need to make all of my food pretty. Chris will call it "fancy" but really I think it's just an  occupational hazard because I'm always picturing how it would look in (well) a picture.  I also think every meal deserves attention to how it looks, therefore breakfast, lunch & dinner may take a few minutes longer in our house.

Find out how you can start a toast addiction with this gateway version after the jump!

Ingredients:


  • 4 slices sprouted whole wheat bread (or some other hearty bread)
  • 1/4 cup sneaky heat mustard
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella
  • 1 tomato, thinly slice
  • 1 avocado, core & slice
  • 1 handful baby arugula
  • salt & pepper

Make it!
  1. Place four slices of bread on a baking sheet & toast under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until golden.
  2. In those two minutes that the bread is slice a tomato & season with salt & pepper & set aside.
  3. Flip toast over & spread about a tablespoon of sneaky heat mustard onto each side.
  4. Next, layer two slices of tomato on each toast.
  5. Then, layer a piece of mozzarella on top of each slice of bread.
  6. Place back under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is just oozy enough to almost look like liquid.
  7. Remove from oven (carefully!). Place each slice on a cutting board. 
  8. Lay a couple of pieces of sliced avocado on top of each toast.
  9. Sprinkle arugula over each piece.
  10. Cut toast on a diagonal, because it's pretty. Eat immediately.
