Preparation

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil until glistening over medium heat. Add onions and saute about 12 minutes until they start to brown.

In the meantime, spread one side of each slice of bread with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil.

On one of the slices, spread pumpkin puree on the non-oiled side.

When onions are cooked, remove skillet from heat and transfer onions to sit on top of the pumpkin.

Place avocado atop the onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then place the other piece of bread on top, oiled-side up.

Turn the stove back on, return the skillet to the burner.

Cook sandwich on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side, using a pot lid or a smaller heavy skillet to press the sandwich down into a “panini.”
