Ingredients
2slicesbread
2-3slicesmelty cheese such as American, Pepper Jack, or Mild White Cheddar
1/2-1avocado(feel free to use half or a whole avocado)
6-10fresh spinach leaves
butteras needed
Instructions
Top one slice of bread with sliced or mashed avocado. To amp up the flavor, sprinkle a teeny pinch salt over the avocado - so good! Top with spinach and 2 slices of cheese then seal with remaining slice of bread.
For an extta melty grilled cheese, add an optional additional slice of cheese to the bottom slice before adding the avocado. YUM!
Optional: for an extra golden crust, spread the outside of each slice of bread with mayo or melted/spreadable butter.
Next heat a pan to medium heat with a pad or two of butter. Once hot, add your sandwich.
Use a spatula to press down on the grilled cheese, and feel free to pop a clear pot lid on top to help melt the cheese. (my favotite trick) Before flipping, add a little more spread/oil if your pan is dry. Pop your lid back on if you're using one and grill each side until golden brown.
Slice in half and chow down while it's hot!
