BLT...Vegetarian Style!!!



Veggie BLT
I love BLT’s!  I discovered a local vegetarian restaurant that had one, but used Asiago Cheese instead of bacon.  It gave me an idea to create this one.

Ingredients:
Asiago Crisps (recipe follows)
Sprouts
Spicy Vegan Mayo (recipe follows)
Fresh Spinach leaves
Sliced tomato
½ of an Avocado
Whole Grain bread

Preparation:
Spread the spicy mayo on both sides of the bread, the place the avocado on one slice and mash/spread with a fork.  Place a few spinach leaves on top of the avocado, then 2-3 slices of tomato.  Place the Asiago crisp on top of everything, then cover with the other slice of bread.  Enjoy!


Asiago Crisps:  Pre-heat oven to 425. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.  Grate, about ½ of a cup of aged/hard asiago cheese in 3 or 4 piles on the paper.  Place in the oven until it browns around the edges.  Remove from the oven, place a wired rack on top of the cheese and carefully flip the crisps with the parchment paper on the rack.  Remove the paper and let cool.

Spicy Mayo:  You can easily make your own Vegan Mayo (see previous recipes) or buy a Vegan mayo.  Add hot sauce, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder.
