Avocado, Mozzarella & Tomato Grilled Cheese

Servings: 2

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8–10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Sandwich:

• 4 slices of bread (sourdough, multigrain, or white)
• 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 4 oz (115 g) fresh mozzarella, sliced
• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh basil leaves or arugula for added flavor

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

1. Slice the avocado and tomato evenly.
2. Slice mozzarella into thin slices so it melts easily.
3. Spread butter or brush olive oil on one side of each bread slice.

Tip: Softening the butter slightly makes it easier to spread evenly.

2. Assemble the Sandwich

1. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer mozzarella first, then tomato slices, and avocado slices on top.
2. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the avocado and tomato.
3. Add optional basil leaves or arugula if desired.
4. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

3. Grill the Sandwich

1. Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
2. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3–5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Tip: Cover the pan with a lid for 1–2 minutes to help the mozzarella melt evenly without burning the bread.

4. Serve

1. Remove sandwiches from skillet and let rest for 1 minute.
2. Slice diagonally and serve warm.
3. Optionally, serve with a side of salad, soup, or chips.

Tips & Variations

• Cheese alternatives: Use provolone, gouda, or cheddar for a different flavor.
• Extra flavor: Add a thin layer of pesto or mayonnaise under the cheese.
• Crispier texture: Toast the bread lightly before assembling the sandwich.
• Make it vegan: Use vegan mozzarella and plant-based butter.

This grilled cheese is creamy, fresh, and packed with vibrant Mediterranean flavors, perfect for a satisfying lunch or quick dinner.
