Description
Indulge in the creamy goodness of Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, a comforting vegetarian meal that pairs perfectly with a side salad or soup.
Ingredients
Avocado Spread:
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sandwich:
- 4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly. Layer with shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, and tomato slices if using. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
- Cook Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add cooked bacon or a fried egg for extra flavor and protein.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and vegan cheese.
