Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until slightly chunky.
Add lime juice, salt, chili flakes, garlic powder, and cilantro (if using) to the mashed avocado. Mix well to make guacamole.
In a separate small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese together.
Take two slices of bread and spread about 1/4 of the guacamole evenly on each slice.
Sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded cheese mixture on top of the guacamole on each slice.
Top each prepared slice with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Spread butter evenly on the outward-facing sides of each sandwich slice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Repeat the same steps for the second sandwich.
Remove from the skillet, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.
