Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Cheese
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado (about 150g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Mash the avocado in a small bowl until creamy. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences to enhance the avocado’s natural flavor.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese onto one slice, then sandwich with the other slice, avocado sides facing inward.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt one tablespoon of unsalted butter, ensuring it coats the pan evenly to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
- Grill the sandwich: Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
- Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, slice it in half for easy handling, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness while it’s warm.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon inside the sandwich.
- Butter the bread evenly to achieve a perfectly golden and crispy crust.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan for even cooking.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the saltiness of your cheddar cheese.
