Description

Avocado grilled cheese sandwiches with creamy avocado spread, fresh herbs, and gooey cheese—perfect for a quick, flavorful vegetarian meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 10 slices of bread (whole wheat, multigrain, or rustic)

  • 10 slices of cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Gouda, or Havarti)

  • ¼ cup fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)

  • 1 green chili (optional, adjust to taste)

  • ½ lime

  • Butter, as needed

  • Salt, to taste


Instructions

  • Make the Avocado Spread:
    Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop into a blender.
    Add coriander, green chili, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
    Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt to taste.

  • Assemble the Sandwiches:
    Lay 5 slices of bread on a clean surface.
    Top each with 1 slice of cheese.
    Spread a thick layer of avocado mixture over the cheese.
    Add a second slice of cheese and cover with another slice of bread.

  • Grill the Sandwiches:
    Heat a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat with butter.
    Grill sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
    Repeat for remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.

 

  • Serve:
    Let sandwiches cool slightly, then slice diagonally and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rustic bread for a crunchier bite.
  • Swap cheese or adjust chili level to suit your taste.
  • Make it vegan with dairy-free cheese and butter.
