Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 slices multigrain bread (such as Ezekiel or sprouted grain)
- Butter, for spreading
Instructions
- Butter the outside layers of both slices of bread.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one slice, butter-side down, into the pan.
- Layer mozzarella cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado on top of the bread in the pan.
- Cover with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
- Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich.
- Cook until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from pan, slice if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe avocado for creaminess; cherry tomatoes add a juicy burst of flavor. Multigrain bread provides a hearty texture and flavor contrast. For best results, cook on medium heat to melt cheese without burning the bread.
