Avocado, Mozzarella, and Tomato Grilled Cheese
There’s something about grilled cheese that feels like home, right? And when you add creamy avocado, fresh tomato slices, and stretchy mozzarella — it becomes a whole new level of cozy. This avocado mozzarella and tomato grilled cheese is sunshine between two buttery slices of bread.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- good bread sourdough or thick white for toasty crispness
- mozzarella fresh slices or shredded
- tomato slices ripe and thinly sliced
- avocado soft and spreadable or sliced
- butter or mayo for golden crust
- salt & pepper
- fresh basil optional, for caprese vibe
Instructions
- Slice the tomato and mozzarella. Scoop or slice your ripe avocado. Butter (or mayo) the outsides of your bread.
- Layer mozzarella, tomato slices, and avocado on the inside of one bread slice. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh basil if using. Top with the second slice.
- Place the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly — about 4–5 minutes per side — until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted. Press gently with a spatula for even browning.
- Let it cool for a minute, then slice diagonally. Serve warm!
Notes
Best eaten fresh for optimal texture. For a caprese twist, drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
