Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white) Room temperature
  • 1 whole Avocado Sliced thinly and ripe but firm
  • 2 slices Mozzarella cheese Fresh or deli-style, room temperature
  • 1 whole Tomato Sliced thinly (preferably a firm slicing tomato)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For drizzling
  • 1 pinch Salt To taste, adjust to preference
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Softened for spreading

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
  • Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly with the softened butter.
  • Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Layer with sliced avocado, then mozzarella slices, and finish with tomato slices.
  • Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up, and press down gently.
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until browned and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the skillet, let rest for 30 seconds, then slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a thin smear of pesto or a few basil leaves.
