Ingredients
- Bread: 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or white)
- Butter: 2 tablespoons (for spreading on the bread)
- Mozzarella Cheese: 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced or shredded
- Avocado: 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- Tomato: 1 medium tomato, sliced
- Fresh Basil: A few leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Salt: To taste
- Black Pepper: To taste
- Olive Oil: A drizzle (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Slice the avocado and tomato, and shred or slice the mozzarella cheese. Have everything ready for easy assembly.
- Butter the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will ensure the sandwich gets that golden, crispy finish when grilled.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer the mozzarella cheese, followed by the avocado slices and tomato slices. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper for extra flavor. Add a few basil leaves for a fresh touch (optional).
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich, buttered side down, in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
- You can also add a little balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
- For extra flavor, try spreading a thin layer of pesto on the bread before adding the other ingredients.
- Use any type of cheese you like, but mozzarella provides a nice melt and mild flavor.
- Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best texture and flavor.
