Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the avocado, mozzarella, and tomato. If you prefer, mash the avocado with a little salt and pepper for easier spreading.
2. Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread a layer of avocado (sliced or mashed) onto two slices of bread.
- Layer the mozzarella cheese and tomato slices on top of the avocado. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Add fresh basil leaves for extra flavor, if using.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread to create two sandwiches.
3. Butter the Bread
- Spread butter on the outer sides of each sandwich, making sure to cover the bread evenly.
4. Grill the Sandwiches
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, butter-side down.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the mozzarella is melted.
5. Serve
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing.
- For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
