Description

Simple, yet delicious, this Tomato Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich will satisfy your lunch-time craving in a nutritious way!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices 100% whole wheat bread
  • Butter (or spread of your choice)
  • Cheddar cheese, sliced (or cheese of your liking)
  • 1 Tomato, sliced
  • 1 Avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp dried Basil (if you have fresh basil on hand, that would be better!)

Instructions

  1. Divide bread so there is 2 slices for each sandwich. Butter 1 side of each slice of bread; Lay the butter side down.
  2. On 4 of the un-buttered sides, layer the cheese, tomato slices and avocado slices. Sprinkle on 1/4 tsp of dried basil. (You may choose to put another slice of cheese on top after the basil to help the sandwich stay together better). Cover with the remaining slices of bread, butter side up.
  3. Place on pre-heated griddle or frying pan, on med-low heat. (I don’t like my cooking surface too hot because I want to give it time for the cheese to melt without burning the bread). Cook until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip over and repeat on the other side. Enjoy!

Notes

*I have found that using cooking spray, such as pam olive oil, works well as a substitute for butter and gives the bread a nice crispy texture when cooked.
*The stronger flavored cheese you use (such as sharp cheddar), the less you can use and still have a great taste. The bold flavors go a long way!
