🥑 Avocado, Mozzarella, and Tomato Grilled Cheese – The Ultimate Upgrade to a Classic

 

This recipe uses a handful of fresh ingredients that come together in less than 10 minutes. Here’s everything you’ll need:

Ingredients

  • ½ avocado, sliced

  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese

  • 4 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

  • 2 slices multigrain bread (I like Ezekiel sprouted grain bread)

  • A dab of butter

📝 Tip: Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape without turning mushy during grilling. And opt for vine-ripened or heirloom cherry tomatoes if you want to elevate the flavor even further.

Instructions

Follow these steps for grilled cheese sandwich bliss:

Method:

  1. Butter the outside layers of the bread (both slices). This ensures a golden, crisp crust.

  2. Place one slice, buttered side down, in a frying pan preheated to medium heat.

  3. Layer the ingredients in this order:

    • 2 slices of mozzarella cheese

    • 4 cherry tomato halves

    • Sliced avocado

    • 2 more slices of mozzarella cheese (for meltiness on both sides)

  4. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.

  5. Cook for a few minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is fully melted.

  6. Remove from pan, slice in half, and enjoy while hot and gooey.
