Ingredients

4 slices sourdough bread

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 large tomato, sliced

4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced

2 tablespoons butter, softened

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Place two slices of bread in the skillet, buttered side down.

Layer the mozzarella slices evenly over the bread.

Add tomato slices and avocado slices on top of the mozzarella.

Season with salt and pepper. Add fresh basil leaves if desired.

Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing up.

Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the mozzarella begins to melt.

Carefully flip each sandwich and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes, until golden and the cheese is fully melted.

Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this grilled cheese with a simple green salad tossed with lemon vinaigrette for a lighter meal. For a cozy comfort-food pairing, enjoy it with a bowl of tomato soup. Kettle chips also make a delicious crunchy side.

Variations & Tips

Add crispy bacon or sliced prosciutto for a heartier sandwich with extra savory flavor.

Add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Swap sourdough for gluten-free bread to make a gluten-free version.

Try different cheeses like provolone or fontina for a new flavor twist.

For a vegan option, use plant-based cheese and a dairy-free butter alternative.

This Caprese-inspired grilled cheese is a quick and delicious way to turn simple ingredients into a comforting meal.
