Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to create this tasty sandwich:
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for extra crispiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat
If you’re out of sourdough, any hearty bread will do. And for those who like a bit of a kick, the chili flakes are a delightful addition. My kids love it both ways, and it’s always a hit at our table.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your own Creamy Avocado Grilled Cheese:
- Start by mashing the avocado in a small bowl. Add salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using, and set aside.
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. If you’re using mayonnaise, spread it on the other side for an extra crispy finish.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.
- Evenly distribute the mashed avocado over the bread slices in the skillet.
- Top the avocado with shredded cheddar cheese, then place the remaining bread slices on top, butter side up.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, and then slice in half. Serve immediately for the best gooey texture.
This recipe is quick enough for even the busiest weekday, and it’s a wonderful way to bring a bit of warmth and comfort to your day.
