Viral sandwich without bread. Two recipes in one for a delicious light dinner

This zucchini and sweet potato bread sandwich is one of those recipes that, having gone viral on Instagram, is very delicious, and that doesn't always happen.

There are many times that we see a recipe with millions of views and we think that it must be delicious. It has happened to me many times that when I made the recipe I was ready to throw it away, because what I like is not always delicious.

However, this recipe is delicious and although it is not the same as a sandwich made with bread, it is perfect if we want to reduce calories, carbohydrate intake or simply want a lighter sandwich.

Ingredients

For the zucchini sandwich

• 1 Zucchini
• 50 g grated Grana Padano cheese
• 3 lettuce leaves
• 3 slices of turkey breast
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
• 1/2 red onion cut into thin rounds
• 1 sliced ​​tomato
• ½ avocado cut into slices
• A few black sesame seeds

For the sweet potato sandwich

• 50 g grated Grana Padano cheese
• 2 tablespoons guacamole (recipe below)

For the guacamole

• A little chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 of a red onion, chopped into squares
• A few drops of tabasco (optional)
• A little lemon or lime zest
• A few drops of lemon or lime juice
• A little salt

Directions

We preheat the oven to 200 °C.

Cut the sweet potato into thin slices and the zucchini into long strips.

En una bandeja de horno forrada con papel vegetal, espolvoreamos una capa fina de queso Grana Padano: para el pan de calabacín una tira alargada. Para el boniato vamos a hacer dos "rebanadas", así que haremos dos rectángulos con el queso Grana Padano rallado.

We place 8 strips of zucchini, one below the other, overlapping them a little, on the long strip of cheese.

For the other sandwich we place 6 sweet potato wheels, keeping them as close together as possible, overlapping each other slightly to form a rectangle, and we repeat with the other rectangle.

Season to taste and then add another thin layer of grated Grana Padano cheese on top of the vegetables.

Bake for 20 minutes until golden and crispy. We remove from the oven, let it cool a little and carefully take off.

Meanwhile, we prepare the guacamole: mash the avocado with a fork. We add chopped coriander leaves, chopped red onion, a little salt, a few drops of Tabasco and a little of the zest and juice of lemon or lime.

In a frying pan with a few drops of oil, fry the egg until the white is curdled, leaving the yolk whole.

We cut the zucchini “bread” in half, which will be crispy. In this way we will have two slices.

For the zucchini we add a layer of lettuce leaves, on top of some slices of turkey breast. On top we can add a little mayonnaise, some wheels of red onion and some slices of tomato. We finish with some slices of avocado and some black sesame seeds, salt and pepper.

For the sweet potato sandwich, we cover with one of the "slices of sweet potato with the guacamole. We put on top some slices of smoked salmon, some leaves of oak leaves (or your favorite salad) and we finish with a grilled egg. We cover with the other slice and that's it.
