Ingredients

1½tbsp Sunflower Oil

75g Chestnut Mushrooms, sliced

90g Spinach

4 Slices Asda Extra Special Wholemeal & Rye Sourdough

100g Mozzarella Cheese, sliced

2tsp Asda Reduced-fat Green Pesto

Method

1
Add ½tbsp oil to a frying pan and place over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2-3 min, stirring continuously. Once the mushrooms are golden brown, remove from the pan and set aside. Add spinach to the same pan and allow to wilt for 2 mins, then remove from the pan and combine with the mushrooms.
2
To build the sandwich, spread 1tsp pesto onto a slice of sourdough, then add half the mozzarella and top with the mushroom and spinach mixture. Place a second piece of bread on top and press down. Repeat for the second sandwich.
3
Clean the same frying pan with kitchen paper then heat ½ tbsp oil over a medium heat. Once hot, fry one sandwich for around 2 mins per side or until crisp and golden and the cheese is starting to melt. Repeat for the second sandwich; serve with a fresh green side salad, if liked.
