I am always looking for new recipes that are easy to make, since my schedule no longer allows for me to spend hours making a delicious meal. One of my "go-to" recipes is grilled cheese. It is cheesy and yummy, and I can whip it up in less than 5 minutes. However, I am getting super bored with plain, old grilled cheese...so I went looking for new ideas.
I found this grilled cheese recipe from Tyler Florence via the Food Network, and boy is it ever yummy! I made it just as published, only I used store bought pesto sauce. Then, I had a brilliant idea. Let's add AVOCADO! Avocados are one of my favorite foods ever, so I decided to throw some on the next time that I made them. Amazing.
So here is my recipe (modified from Tyler's):
Ingredients:
2 slices of your favorite bread (I used just generic multi-grain bread)
1 large slice of fresh mozzarella cheese
slices of tomato
slices of avocado
pesto sauce (you can make it on your own, but I just bought premade stuff from the grocery store)
small amount of olive oil
Assemble sandwich by smearing insides of bread slices with pesto sauce (you can use as much or as little as you want). Arrange a layer of sliced tomato. Layer the mozzarella over the top, and then place avocado pieces over the top of that. Place another piece of bread on top to make the sandwich. Drizzle olive oil over skillet's surface and place sandwich on the hot skillet or panini press. Turn after 2 to 3 minutes. The sandwich is ready when golden brown and mozzarella has melted around the edges.
It is sooo delicious. Enjoy!!!!
