Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough, Italian, or your favorite sandwich bread
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 1–2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1–2 tomato slices (heirloom or Roma work beautifully)
- Butter (for spreading on bread)
- Salt, pepper, and optional pinch of dried basil or balsamic glaze
How to Make It
- Prep the bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. This will be the side that touches the skillet.
- Assemble the sandwich: On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer the avocado, mozzarella, and tomato. Season with salt, pepper, and basil if using.
- Grill it up: Place the sandwich in a preheated skillet over medium heat, buttered side down. Top with the second slice of bread (butter side up).
- Cook until golden: Grill for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula for an even crisp.
- Serve hot: Optional — drizzle with a touch of balsamic glaze or serve with a side of tomato soup.
Pro Tips
- Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt and flavor.
- Mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra zesty bite.
- Add extras: Spinach, pesto, or a fried egg can take this sandwich to the next level.
