Method

ALTERNATIVES

  1. 1

    Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. In a small bowl, mash the beans with a fork until mostly smooth with a few texture chunks.

  2. 2

    Season the mashed beans with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine evenly.

  3. 3

    Lay out the bread slices. Spread about 1/4 cup of the bean mash on each slice and top with a slice of cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheese).

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Once hot, place the assembled bread slices in the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    If you prefer extra crispness, finish under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro if using and serve with salsa on the side.
