Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Buffalo sauce to taste
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by slicing bread, mashing the avocado, and having shredded cheese ready.
- Butter one side of each bread slice thoroughly, ensuring complete coverage for even golden browning.
- On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, spread the mashed avocado evenly, creating a smooth base layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the avocado layer, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle buffalo sauce across the cheese, adjusting the amount to your preferred spice level.
- Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing outward, creating a sandwich.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, allowing it to warm up for even cooking.
- Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the heated surface, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Gently flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is golden.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Tips
- Butter is key: Use room temperature butter for easy spreading and ensure complete, even coverage on the bread's exterior for that perfect golden-brown crunch.
- Cheese selection matters: Choose a cheese that melts well, like sharp cheddar, monterey jack, or a blend of cheeses for maximum flavor and gooeyness.
- Avocado prep: Mash the avocado thoroughly to create a smooth, spreadable layer that integrates perfectly with the cheese.
- Buffalo sauce control: Start with a light drizzle of buffalo sauce and adjust to your spice preference. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Heat management: Use medium heat to ensure the bread gets crispy without burning, and the cheese melts completely.
- Let it rest: Allow the sandwich to cool for a minute after cooking to let the cheese set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Serve immediately: Grilled cheese is best enjoyed fresh and hot, so time your cooking to serve right away for maximum crispiness and flavor.
