Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 piece Avocado Provides creaminess and healthy fats; if unavailable, use spreadable cheese or vegan alternatives.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese Adds richness and melty texture; substitute with provolone or cheddar for varied flavors.
  • 1 medium Tomato Offers freshness and acidity; use sun-dried tomatoes for an intense flavor or omit if preferred.
For the Bread
  • 2 slices Bread Choose sourdough or whole-grain for added nutrition.
For Grilling
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or Olive Oil Used for grilling to achieve a crispy, golden crust.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing the avocado and fresh tomatoes into even pieces. Next, grate or slice the mozzarella cheese to ensure it melts beautifully.
  2. Take two slices of your chosen bread and lay one slice on a clean surface. Begin layering with the creamy avocado first, followed by the gooey mozzarella and then the juicy tomatoes. Top with the second slice of bread.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a generous pat of butter or a splash of olive oil. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, ensuring the other side is coated in melted butter or oil. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently for even cooking.
  5. Once perfectly grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Allow it to rest for a minute, then cut in half to serve immediately
