Top Tips for Perfecting Your Grilled Cheese

• Use ripe avocados: Soft but not mushy—perfect for slicing.
• Low and slow is best: Cook over medium heat for that golden crust without burning.
• Experiment with add-ins: A smear of pesto or a few basil leaves adds extra flavor.
• Don’t skimp on the butter: It makes the bread perfectly crispy and golden.

Storing and Reheating Tips

This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, wrap them in foil and refrigerate for up to one day. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat to bring back the crispy texture. Avoid microwaving—it can make the bread soggy.
