Description

This Creamy Avocado Grilled Cheese sandwich combines the rich, buttery flavor of melted cheddar cheese with a smooth, tangy avocado spread. Perfectly toasted golden bread encloses melted cheese, while a luscious mix of mashed avocado seasoned with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper adds a fresh twist to this classic comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Avocado Mixture

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cheese

  • 2 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients: bread, avocado, butter, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Prepare Avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Mash Avocado: Using a fork, mash the avocado until smooth and creamy in texture.
  4. Add Lemon Juice: Mix in the lemon juice to the mashed avocado to add freshness and prevent browning.
  5. Season Avocado: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor of the avocado spread.
  6. Set Aside: Keep the prepared avocado mixture aside while you prepare the rest.
  7. Heat Pan: Warm a frying pan or griddle over medium heat on the stovetop.
  8. Butter Bread: Spread one tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
  9. Toast First Bread Slice: Place one slice of bread buttered side down into the heated pan.
  10. Add Cheese: Immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bread in the pan.
  11. Prepare Second Slice: Butter one side of the remaining bread slice just like the first.
  12. Assemble Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread buttered side up on top of the cheese, so both buttered sides face outwards.
  13. Cook First Side: Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden and crispy.
  14. Flip Sandwich: Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
  15. Remove from Pan: Take the sandwich off the pan once both sides are toasted and cheese is gooey.
  16. Cool Slightly: Allow the sandwich to cool for a minute or two to avoid burns from hot cheese.
  17. Slice Sandwich: Cut the sandwich in half for easy spreading and serving.
  18. Spread Avocado: Generously spread the creamy avocado mixture on one half of the sandwich.
  19. Reassemble: Place the other half on top, avocado side facing inwards, to complete the sandwich.
  20. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the blend of gooey cheese and creamy avocado.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado to ensure a creamy spread.
  • Butter the outsides of the bread slices to achieve a golden and crispy texture when grilled.
  • Add lemon juice to avocado mixture to prevent browning and add a fresh tang.
  • Cook over medium heat to allow cheese to melt without burning the bread.
  • The avocado is added last after grilling to preserve its fresh flavor and creamy texture.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
