Spinach and Avocado Grilled Cheese
Spinach and Avocado Grilled Cheese FTW! This tasty vegetarian sandwich is loaded with melty cheese, buttery avocado and a hearty helping of fresh spinach!
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 2-3 slices melty cheese such as American, Pepper Jack, or Mild White Cheddar
- 1/2-1 avocado (feel free to use half or a whole avocado)
- 6-10 fresh spinach leaves
- butter as 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!
