Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or thick white bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper using a fork. The mixture should be smooth but still a bit chunky for texture.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place the slices buttered side down on a clean surface.
- On two slices, layer one slice of cheese, followed by a generous spread of mashed avocado, then another slice of cheese.
- Top each with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip using a spatula and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from skillet, let sit for 1 to 2 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
