Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 slices slices of bread (your choice: sourdough, whole grain, or white)
  • 1 whole ripe avocado For best flavor, use a ripe avocado.
  • 2 slices fresh mozzarella cheese Choose fresh mozzarella for optimal taste.
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for a healthier option) Use butter for richer flavor or olive oil for health.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • optional fresh basil or arugula Add for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Take one slice of bread and spread the mashed avocado evenly on it. Layer the mozzarella cheese slices and tomato slices on top.
  3. Top the tomatoes with the second slice of bread, creating a sandwich.
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter (or heat the olive oil) until bubbling.
  2. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until it's golden brown and crispy.
  3. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Press down slightly and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread to become crispy.
Serving
  1. Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Slice in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delightful creation!

Notes

To elevate your meal, consider serving your sandwich with crunchy pickles, a light salad, or warm tomato soup. For great flavor, use the freshest ingredients and feel free to experiment with different types of bread. A splash of hot sauce can add heat, if desired.
