Melted Havarti Avocado Sandwich with Spicy Mayo. Layered up tall with homemade spicy smoky mayo, melted Havarti cheese, roasted tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, and served with yummy chips on the side. Make this for lunch or dinner, or serve it up at your next afternoon picnic. This tasty vegetable cheese sandwich is precisely what our warm-weather days are calling for.

Look! It’s a sandwich! I almost never share sandwich recipes but I needed a change of pace. I’ve been sharing a lot of bowl recipes and I love them all but sandwiches are pretty great too! This charming, stacked cheese sandwich feels so perfect for these springtime days.

I’m in LA this week and this sandwich feels very LA with all the sprouts plus avocado layered inside. It’s so delish!

Yes, it’s rare that I share sandwich recipes, but it’s not that I don’t love a good sandwich, because I really do. It’s more the fact that I have a hard time photographing them. I knew I needed to push all my fears aside when I had this idea because this sandwich is fun and different!

I wanted to create something quick to put together, colorful, and vegetarian. A sandwich where the cheese and veggies are the focus.

Here are details

Start with the bread. Use a loaf of sourdough or rye, something with a little flavor of its own.

Now make that mayo. I love to use an avocado oil mayo. Mix it together with hot sauce, chipotle, and smoked paprika. It’s such a simple creamy sauce but has such yummy flavor.

We’re so into this spicy mayo sauce right now. It’s spicy, but not overpowering. It really adds something special to the sandwich. The smoked paprika is key so don’t skip that.

Ok, now it’s time to assemble. Switch the broiler to high. Layer the bread with the spicy mayo, Havarti cheese, and sliced cherry tomatoes. I like to season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Then throw the pan in the oven to get the cheese melted and the tomatoes charred.

This only takes a few minutes – watch closely, as the broiler cooks fast.

Now, working quickly (you want the cheese to stay warm). Layer on sun-dried tomatoes, pickles and/or pepperoncini. Add a big hand full of sprouts, avocado, and if you’d like, some pickled onions.

Then I usually add a drizzle more of spicy mayo and finish with the top piece of bread.

Slice and eat! The sandwich is best when the cheese is warm and melty. Add some mayo on the side and go all out and enjoy with your favorite chips. I feel like chips really round out the sandwich experience.

So yummy! I love all the colors, the flavors, and the ingredients hidden within this stacked-up veggie cheese sandwich!! I’m thinking I need to start sharing more sandwich recipes. This one is so fun!

I will say, if you prefer to add meat, roasted chicken or deli-cut turkey would certainly be delicious.

Oh, and a little bacon added on would be amazing too!
