AVOCADO, MOZZARELLA, AND TOMATO GRILLED CHEESE
This grilled cheese is a delicious twist on the classic, featuring creamy avocado, gooey mozzarella, and juicy tomato slices. It’s the perfect comfort food for lunch or dinner—crisp on the outside and melty inside.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or sandwich bread
- 1 ripe avocado sliced or mashed
- 1 –2 medium tomatoes thinly sliced
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese or 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: balsamic glaze or fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer avocado, tomato slices, and mozzarella. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly, until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Serve:
- Slice in half and serve hot. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or fresh basil for extra flavour.
Notes
- Make it Fancy: Add pesto or swap mozzarella for fresh burrata.
- Crispier Tip: Use mayo instead of butter for an ultra-crispy crust.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh, but you can reheat leftovers in a skillet to retain crispness.
- Serving Suggestion: Great with tomato soup, salad, or sweet potato fries.
