Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Avocado Mixture
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Gather Ingredients. Collect all necessary ingredients including bread, avocado, butter, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Prepare Avocado. Slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Mash Avocado. Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth and creamy.
- Add Lemon Juice. Stir in the lemon juice to the mashed avocado, mixing thoroughly.
- Season Avocado. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mix well.
- Preheat Pan. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat on the stove.
- Butter Bread. Spread one tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Start Grilling. Place one slice of bread butter-side down onto the heated pan.
- Add Cheese. Immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bread in the pan.
- Assemble Sandwich. Butter one side of the second bread slice and place it butter-side up on top of the cheese.
- Cook First Side. Grill the sandwich for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip Sandwich. Use a spatula to flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove and Cool. Take the sandwich off the pan and let it cool for a minute or two to avoid burning from hot cheese.
- Slice Sandwich. Cut the grilled cheese sandwich in half.
- Spread Avocado. Generously spread the creamy mashed avocado mixture onto one half of the sandwich.
- Reassemble Sandwich. Place the other half on top, with the avocado facing inwards.
- Serve. Serve immediately while the sandwich is warm and the cheese is gooey.
Notes
- Choose a ripe avocado for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, including salt and pepper levels.
- Use a non-stick pan or grill for easy flipping and even browning.
- Let the sandwich cool slightly to avoid burning on melted cheese.
- Serve the sandwich immediately for best taste and texture.
