– 2 slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread
– 1 ripe avocado
– 2 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
– 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Creating your Creamy Avocado Grilled Cheese is straightforward and fun! Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until creamy.
2. Season the Avocado: Add salt and pepper to the mashed avocado, mixing well to incorporate flavors.
3. Spread Butter or Oil: On one side of each slice of bread, spread butter or brush with olive oil. This creates a crispy crust.
4. Assemble: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in a skillet. Add one slice of cheese, a generous layer of the mashed avocado, and then add the second slice of cheese.
5. Top with Bread: Place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
6. Cook: Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown.
7. Flip and Continue Cooking: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove and Slice: Once both sides are cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing.
This simple method keeps your sandwich deliciously gooey inside while achieving a perfectly crisp exterior.
