A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, combining creamy avocado, fresh tomatoes, and melted cheese for a satisfying meal.
Mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, cumin, and salt in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Ensure the avocado is ripe for a smoother spread.
Lay out the bread slices and place a slice of cheese on half of them. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the cheese.
Use a spatula to evenly spread the avocado mixture.
Top the avocado spread with tomato slices and cover with the remaining bread slices.
Press gently to ensure the sandwiches hold together.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich.
Butter helps achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
Serve the sandwiches warm, optionally with a side of soup or salad.
Cut sandwiches diagonally for a classic presentation.
