Treena V's Spinach, Mushroom, and Mozzarella Patty Melt recipe...the Vegan Way!

Growing up, I was never a big breakfast eater. My mom would try to make me eat grits, Roger Wood sausages, and eggs....ilk....I think I'm the only person from South Carolina that did not look forward to eating that stuff!😂 But as I grew older, so did my hunger in the mornings! LOL. I've got a quick, easy, and delicious recipe you can try for breakfast when you're on the go!


What you will need:
1 tablespoon of grapeseed, sesame, or avocado oil
2 tablespoons of Smart Balance plant-based butter (vegan)
1 cup of white or portobello mushrooms
2 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of Daiya mozzarella cheese (vegan)
1 teaspoon of organic black pepper
2 teaspoons of pink Himalayan sea salt
2 slices of wheat bread


Aww, hell...who am I kidding?? I never measure my servings! LOL. It sounded good though!😂 Like I said in my previous recipe posts, I measure with my eyes, and I season to taste. That said, tweak it how you want it! But this is a good start!

Directions


The Veggies

1. Heat grapeseed, avocado, or sesame oil in frying pan on medium heat
2. Add the mushrooms and spinach (stir consistently) for about 5 minutes (season the vegetables in the pan with sea salt and black pepper)
3. Remove the sautéed spinach and mushrooms from the pan. Add the spinach, mushrooms and vegan mozzarella to the wheat bread
4. Place the other slice of wheat bread on top the spinach, mushroom and cheese (making it in to a sandwich)
5. Put the sandwich aside (for now)

Making the Patty Melt

1. Heat the Smart Balance plant-based butter in a small frying pan on medium heat
2. Place the sandwich inside the frying pan (at this time, mash down on the sandwich with a spatula) Cook about 2 minutes on each side (browning the bread on both sides)
3. Cover for about 3 minutes (this helps melt the vegan mozzarella cheese faster)
