Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Diced jalapeño (optional, for spice)
- 0.5 piece Avocado (mashed)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
In a small bowl, mix the mashed avocado with lime juice, ground cumin, and chili powder. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the side that gets toasted.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly on top.
Evenly scatter the diced jalapeño (if using) and fresh cilantro over the cheese layer.
Spread the seasoned mashed avocado mixture on the non-buttered side of the second bread slice. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the avocado spread.
Place the second slice of bread, avocado side down, on top of the cheese and press gently.
Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Lower the heat if necessary to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
