Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for toasting the sandwich evenly without burning.
- Butter the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy exterior.
- Spread avocado: On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the mashed avocado evenly and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Add cheese slice: Place a slice of your chosen cheese on top of the avocado, allowing it to melt beautifully during cooking.
- Assemble sandwich: Cover with the second slice of bread, making sure the buttered side is facing outward to achieve that perfect golden crust.
- Cook sandwich: Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Flip carefully and continue until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted fully.
- Cool and slice: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute to help the cheese set slightly before slicing.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness with crunchy toasted bread.
Notes
- You can use any cheese you prefer for different flavors, such as cheddar for sharpness or mozzarella for mild creaminess.
- For a healthier option, use whole grain bread and light butter or butter alternatives.
- Adding tomato slices or fresh herbs like basil can enhance the flavor further.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and allow easy flipping.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your stove’s heat and bread type to avoid burning.
