Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • ½ avocado sliced Adds creaminess and healthy fats; for a lower-fat alternative, dab on some hummus or ripe pear slices.
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese Provides a gooey texture; try cheddar, provolone, or plant-based cheese for a vegan delight!
  • 4 cherry tomatoes sliced in half Adds brightness and tang; sun-dried tomatoes can enhance the richness.
  • 2 slices multigrain bread Acts as the sturdy base; opt for gluten-free bread if needed.
  • 1 dab butter Adds richness and helps achieve that perfect golden-brown crust; feel free to substitute with plant-based butter for a vegan version.

Equipment

  • Frying pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Butter the Bread: Spread a generous dab of butter on one side of each slice of multigrain bread for a golden, crispy exterior.
  2. Preheat the Pan: Place a frying pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's hot enough to sizzle when the bread touches it.
  3. Build the Sandwich: Add one slice of bread with the buttered side down, layer 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and topped with sliced avocado.
  4. Add the Top Slice: Cover the fillings with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up, and press down gently with a spatula.
  5. Cook Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the underside is crispy, then flip and cook the other side.
  6. Finish Cooking: Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from pan, let cool for a minute, slice in half for presentation, and serve warm.
