  • Author: kitchenyumm
  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x

Description

This Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich takes the classic comfort of melty cheese and crispy bread, then levels it up with creamy avocado, a hint of lime, and a perfectly golden crust. It’s quick, satisfying, and the perfect blend of rich and fresh—ideal for lunch, late-night cravings, or an easy dinner win.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwich:

  • 4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • Juice of ½ lime

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • 4 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, or a combo!)

  • 1 tbsp butter or mayo (for spreading on the bread)

Optional Add-ins:

  • Sliced tomato

  • Baby spinach or arugula

  • Thin red onion slices

  • Fried egg (for a brunch twist)

  • Dash of hot sauce or chili flakes


Instructions

  • Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash avocado with lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Keep a few chunks for texture!

  • Assemble the Sandwich: Spread avocado mash on two slices of bread. Top with cheese and any extras like spinach or tomato. Place the other slices on top to close.

  • Butter the Bread: Spread butter or mayo on the outside of each slice (this gives it that golden crisp!).

  • Grill It Up: Heat a skillet over medium. Add the sandwich and cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden and the cheese is perfectly melted.

 

  • Slice & Serve: Slice it in half, watch that cheese pull, and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Mix cheeses for a more flavorful melt (cheddar + mozzarella is 💯).

  • Use gluten-free bread for a GF version.

  • Add a pinch of chili flakes to the avocado for a spicy twist.

  • Great with tomato soup or a side salad!
