Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 slices multigrain bread
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 avocado (sliced)
Produce:
- 4 cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
Dairy and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet to medium heat for optimal grilling temperature.
- Generously spread softened butter on the exterior sides of each multigrain bread slice.
- Carefully position one bread slice in the heated skillet, butter-facing downward, creating a crisp foundation.
- Strategically arrange mozzarella cheese slices across the bread, creating a delicate cheese base.
- Layer fresh avocado slices evenly over the cheese, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Distribute halved cherry tomatoes across the avocado, adding vibrant color and juicy texture.
- Complete the layering with remaining mozzarella cheese slices, creating a delicious cheese seal.
- Crown the sandwich with the second bread slice, butter-side facing upward.
- Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes until the bottom transforms into a golden-brown, crispy texture.
- Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, allowing the alternate side to achieve an equally enticing golden color.
- Continue grilling for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese melts completely and bread reaches a perfect toasted state.
- Transfer to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and cheese remains gooey.
Notes
- Slice avocados and tomatoes thinly to ensure even distribution and perfect melting of cheese in every bite.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother, more even spreading on bread, creating a crispier golden-brown exterior.
- Opt for fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture and richer flavor that melts beautifully in the grilled cheese.
- Consider replacing multigrain bread with gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the same delicious taste and texture.
