Avocado Grilled Cheese
Golden, buttery bread with a crispy crunch gives way to a molten core of creamy avocado and gooey melted cheese. This avocado grilled cheese is a twist on classic comfort food that's soul-soothing, satisfying, and wonderfully simple.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mash until creamy with small chunks remaining.
- Grate the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and mix them together in a bowl.
- Lay out the four slices of sourdough. Spread butter on one side of each slice.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado.
- Top the avocado layer with the cheese mixture, dividing it evenly.
- Close each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. When hot, place the sandwiches in the pan.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet, let rest for one minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
