Description
Each bite of this sandwich offers a crackly exterior giving way to molten cheddar, silky avocado, and tart tomato, all seasoned with a hint of salt and pepper. Quick to make and utterly comforting.
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 small tomato
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Place one bread slice buttered side down in the skillet.
- Arrange one slice of cheese on the bread, then top with tomato slices, avocado slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the second slice of cheese on top of the avocado, then cover with the second bread slice buttered side up.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet, let rest for a minute, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for a crispier texture.
- Try substituting cheddar with Swiss or mozzarella cheese for variation.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Serve hot to enjoy the gooey melted cheese.
