Total Time 10 minutes mins
- 2 teaspoon olive oil or organic butter, divided
- 2 slices whole grain bread, or bread of choice
- 2 tablespoon avocado, mashed and divided
- 2 (1 ounce) slices cheese cheddar, mozzarella or swiss
- 1 tablespoon sundried tomatoes in oil, sliced
In a skillet over medium-low heat, add 1 teaspoon butter. Add 1 tablespoon avocado to one slice of bread, and place it in the pan, avocado side up. Place the cheese and sliced sun-dried tomatoes on the bread. Spread the remaining avocado on the last slice of bread, and add it (avocado side down) to the one in the pan, creating a sandwich.
Press down on the sandwich with a spatula, and cover the pan for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Pick the sandwich up with the spatula, and add the additional 1 teaspoon of butter to the pan. Flip the sandwich and press the sandwich down with the spatula.
Cover and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown. Serve warm.
