Description

Elevate your lunch with an Avocado, Mozzarella, and Tomato Grilled Cheese—melty, creamy, and bursting with fresh flavors. This delightful twist on a classic grilled cheese combines smooth avocado, rich mozzarella, and juicy tomatoes, making it a perfect choice for a quick meal or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)

Avocado

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

Mozzarella Cheese

  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

Tomatoes

  • 1 medium ripe tomato, sliced

Butter

  • 2 tbsp butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by slicing your bread, fresh tomatoes, and avocado. If using whole mozzarella, slice it into thick pieces. Having everything ready to go will make the assembly process smooth and easy.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer the fresh mozzarella, followed by the avocado slices, and then the tomato slices. Top it off with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
  3. Butter the Bread: Spread a generous amount of butter on the outer sides of the sandwich. This will create that delicious golden crust when grilled.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and gooey.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don’t rush the grilling; allow the bread to toast thoroughly.
  • Experiment with spreads like pesto or garlic butter for extra flavor.
  • Monitor the heat to avoid burning the bread.
  • Let the sandwich cool slightly before cutting to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
