Ultimate winter vegetable toastie

Ingredients

Bread for the toastie - I used ciabatta buns but sourdough or rye could be yum too

Avo (x 1)

Mustard - grainy stuff (x 2t)

Broccoli (x1 head)

Baby kale (x 2C - get the stuff already picked in a bag)

Chargrilled capsicum (x 1 side of capsicum per toastie - easiest to get the pre grilled ones in a jar)

Haloumi (whole block)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180ºC in on a normal oven setting (not fan)

Cut the bread

Smash the avo then mix in the mustard. Once mixed, smear on one side of the bread (like butter - see pic)

Steam the broccoli then chuck on a tray, spray or drizzle with oil and crisp up in the oven. Takes approx 5-10 mins.

Cook the haloumi, you can do it in a pan (make sure it’s hot before adding in the cheese) or if you’re feeling lazy, chuck it on another pan and stick it in the oven with the broccoli. It takes about 20 - 30 mins to brown up nicely.

Make the toastie! Place the haloumi (sliced), capsicum, broccoli and kale leaves on another piece of bread, plop on the avo-buttered top and chuck it in a toastie maker until golden. 

 

Alternatives

Want it meaty? Slice up some grilled chicken and throw it in as you make the toastie.

Want it gluten free? Get some gluten free bread

Want it dairy free? No halloumi. Boohoo. But if you want the saltiness still, then sprinkle into the toastie a few capers.
