  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 2 slices multigrain bread
  • Butter, for spreading

Instructions

  1. Butter the bread: Spread butter evenly on the outside surfaces of both slices of multigrain bread to ensure a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up before cooking the sandwich.
  3. Assemble the sandwich base: Place one slice of bread buttered side down onto the heated pan to start forming your sandwich.
  4. Add fillings: Layer the mozzarella cheese slices, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes and avocado slices directly onto the bread in the pan.
  5. Top the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up, completing the sandwich assembly.
  6. Cook first side: Allow the sandwich to cook for several minutes until the bottom slice of bread turns golden brown and crispy.
  7. Flip and cook second side: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and the mozzarella cheese is melted and gooey.
  8. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan, optionally slice it in half, and serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

  • Use sourdough or sprouted grain bread for added texture and flavor.
  • For variation, add fresh arugula or a smear of pesto inside the sandwich.
