Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Feel free to play around with the ingredients! You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or add a sprinkle of basil if you’re feeling fancy. The beauty of home cooking lies in its flexibility and personal touch.
Instructions
- Start by spreading butter on one side of each bread slice. This ensures that the bread gets that lovely golden crispiness when grilled.
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat. Lay a slice of cheddar on each piece of bread.
- Layer the avocado slices evenly over the cheese, followed by the tomato slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Top with another slice of cheddar before closing the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted into a gooey delight.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing. This helps the ingredients settle, making for a cleaner cut.
And there you have it—a simple, delightful sandwich that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy.
