- 2 fresh tomato slices
- 3 thin slices deli-style mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread and Avocado:
- Lay the bread slices on a plate or clean flat surface.
- Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
- Assemble the Sandwich:

- On one slice of bread, layer two slices of mozzarella cheese, followed by the tomato slices, and then top with the third slice of cheese.
- Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, avocado side down.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter over the top of the sandwich, covering the bread completely to the edges.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down.
- Butter the now top-facing slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve:
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and cut it in half. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
