Pumpkin, Guacamole and Swiss Sandwiches
Pumpkin, Guacamole and Swiss Sandwiches are the ultimate in a culinary experience. These savory and delicious Tex-Mex sandwiches are made with homemade Chunky Guacamole, Swiss cheese, and roasted pumpkin. If you can't locate fresh pumpkin, you can substitute butternut squash with equally great results. These sandwiches are hearty, filling and so very satisfying. Once you start eating you'll be hard pressed to stop! Great for Meatless Mondays.
Ingredients
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup chunky homemade guacamole
- pepper to taste
- 3-4 slices Swiss cheese as desired
- 1/2-3/4 cup roasted pumpkin cubes
- 2 slices sturdy bread or homemade Parmesan Pine Nut Bread
- butter for frying
Instructions
- Melt a tablespoon or so of butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Lay bread pieces on counter.
- Place Swiss cheese over top of each piece.
- Sprinkle with pepper.
- Spoon guacamole on one piece of the bread.
- Spread roasted pumpkin cubes over top of the guacamole.
- Invert remaining piece of bread so cheese is on top of the pumpkin cubes.
- Grill sandwich in skillet about 5 minutes, covered, before flipping sandwich over and grilling the other side.
- Do not use high heat or bread will scorch.
Notes
NOTE: If the cheese hasn’t melted to your satisfaction, place sandwich on a microwavable plate and microwave 15-30 seconds on reduced power—about 80%.
NOTE: You can substitute butternut squash for the pumpkin in the recipe.
NOTE: You need a sturdy Artisan type bread or Texas toast for this recipe. Regular white bread is too flimsy.
NOTE: Preparation time does not include time required to roast pumpkin or butternut squash.
