Avocado Mozzarella Tomato Grilled Cheese (Printable Version)

Melty mozzarella, creamy avocado, and juicy tomato meet for the ultimate golden grilled cheese.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
02 - 4 slices whole milk mozzarella cheese
03 - 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
04 - 2 slices multigrain bread
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Optional Enhancements

06 - 1 tablespoon plant-based butter
07 - 4 slices plant-based cheese
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh basil, torn
09 - 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and arrange mozzarella slices for assembly.
02 - Evenly spread softened butter over one side of each bread slice.
03 - Arrange one bread slice, buttered side down, on a clean plate. Layer with mozzarella slices, cherry tomato halves, and avocado. Top with remaining bread slice, buttered side facing up.
04 - Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until the underside is golden brown.
05 - Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Continue to grill for an additional 2–3 minutes until both sides are golden and cheese is fully melted.
06 - Transfer to a cutting board, let rest briefly, then cut in half. Serve warm. For added flavor, garnish with fresh basil or drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For even browning, press down gently on the sandwich with a spatula as it cooks.
