Not much of a story to tell on this one. I was just hungry. That's about it. A simple meal for a semi-hectic day. Another variation on the green bean and tomato combination. A yummy open-faced sammie with a hot avocado spread and melted manchego cheese.
The avocado spread has just a nice little kick to it from the hot sauce that it adds to the sandwich. Sooo delish! You can cut up the green beans, if you don't want to have to bite into them while eating.
Open-Faced Roasted Green Bean Sammie
1/2 lb Green Beans (washed with ends removed)
2 Medium Tomatoes (quartered and deseeded)
4 Slices of your bread of choice
Cheese (slices or grated. I used manchego)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Dry Basil
1 Tbsp Dry Parsley
Salt & Pepper to season
Preheat oven to 450˚F
In a large bowl, toss the green beans and tomato with a nice long drizzle oof olive out coating each piece. Add in basil and parsley. Toss to combine. Season with some salt and pepper. Toss again.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake to 20-25min. Half way give the green beans a little stir to let it roast evenly.
Hot Avocado Spread:
1-2 Tbsp Hot Sauce
1 large avocado (mashed and pitted)
1 Tbsp Dry or fresh chopped Basil
1 Tbsp Dry or fresh chopped Parsley
Juice of 1 lemon
Combine all ingredients together into a mash. You may add more or put in less hot sauce to fit your preference.
Putting it together: Preheat the broiler. Take a slice of bread (toasted or untoasted) and spread on a nice helping of the hot avocado spread followed by some of the roasted green beans and tomato. Top with some cheese. Place the sammie in the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is nice and melted.

Fresh green beans are so good right now, and they're great with tomatoes. I brought home green beans last night and just wanted them as simple as possible with tomatoes. Your sandwich looks great.
Avocado and green beans together sound great! This is the second tasty recipe of green beans I've learnt from you. I'll try both of them for sure. And today I tried your recipe of Baked Zucchini sticks to accompany roasted lamb chops. I made some changes on it. Check it out!
I would never have thought of making a sandwich like that, but I love green beans and the avacado spread sounds amazing too!
