“A-B-C” Gluten-Free Grilled Sandwich

Lunch is such an easy meal to welcome guests.  Having a mama-friend and her kiddo over to play, or a neighbor, is easy when there’s a no-fuss meal option.  I love salads for easy, light, healthy meals, but when we created this sandwich idea, I felt like a kid again myself… with all my grown-up food sensibilities and the fun little-kid side of me all playing together happily.

With many families starting school again, this gluten-free grilled sandwich could easily be made in advance and packed to go to school with some fresh crunchy vegetables on the side.  Eaten at room temperature, it’s still just as yummy.  But I can also see this little treat being a perfect afternoon snack, celebrating the end of a fun day of learning.

This “A-B-C” gluten-free grilled sandwich is a much more sophisticated version of the childhood favorite, if I may say so, but literally, sweet and simple.

Slathering your favorite bread (we use gluten-free store-bought or my favorite grain-free sourdough) with almond butter, berries, and chocolate is decadent enough.  But grilling it to buttery golden, melt-y happiness?  You’re going to spoil yourself, or your guests, be they big kids or little ones, silly.  Make this, and tell me if you were as happy as I was with the outcome!
