Cheesy Spinach Toast

Ingredients

• Your favorite bread, toasted (I use my whole grain seed sourdough)

• ~1/2-1 medium carrot per slice of toast, finely chopped

• 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed per slice of toast

• 2 big handfuls of fresh spinach* (~2 cups, packed) per slice of toast

• 1-2 oz cheese per slice of toast (partially skimmed mozzarella or cheddar recommended)

• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Optional (but highly recommended) Mix-ins 

• 2 garlic cloves per slice of toast, finely chopped

• ~1 tsp FRESH ginger per slice of toast, finely chopped

• ½-1 tsp turmeric powder 

• ~1 Tbsp nutritional yeast

• 1-2 tsp miso paste, per slice of toast

Directions

1. Toast your bread 

2. Finely chop carrot (and garlic and ginger, if using)

3. Lightly oil a large nonstick pan and sauté the carrots (and ginger/garlic mix, if using) for a couple minutes

4. Very finely chop fresh spinach, add that + the remaining ingredients into the pan (cheese, ground flaxseed, black pepper, salt, turmeric, and nutritional yeast) 

5. Stir very well and smash veggies down with a spatula to mash together; only keep on heat until the cheese has melted (<1 minute) 

6. Once cheese has melted and it all clumps together, spread evenly onto the slice(s) of toast

Notes:

*Frozen, chopped spinach works great too! Use ~1/2-3/4 cup per slice
