Ingredients
- 1/2 cup avocado oil mayo
- 1-2 tablespoons pickled or pepperoncini juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 4 slices rye or sourdough bread toasted
- 1 tablespoon salted butter at room temperature
- 2-4 slices Havarti cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced
- 1/3 cup sliced dill pickles and/or pepperoncini
- 1 cup fresh sprouts or microgreens
- 1 avocado sliced
- Pickled red onion and/or jalapeños
Instructions
- Make the Spicy Mayo: In a bowl, combine the avocado oil mayo, pickled juice, hot sauce, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, cayenne, and a pinch of kosher salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Prep the Bread: Preheat your broiler to high. Spread butter lightly on the outside of each bread slice and coat the inside with a generous layer of the spicy mayo.
- Assemble and Broil: On a sheet pan, place cheese slices on the mayo side of the bread. Arrange sliced cherry tomatoes (cut side facing up) on top of the cheese. Broil for 2-4 minutes until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown slightly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Add Remaining Toppings: Layer on sun-dried tomatoes, pickles, pepperoncini, sprouts, avocado, pickled red onion, and jalapeños. Add the second piece of bread, cheese side down.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich in half and serve warm with extra spicy mayo on the side for dipping. Yum!
