Ingredients
4 slices of sourdough bread
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
1.Prepare the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat.
2.Butter the Bread: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
3.Assemble the Sandwich: Place two slices of bread, butter side down, in the skillet. Layer mozzarella cheese, avocado slices, and tomato slices on top. Season with salt and pepper. Add fresh basil leaves if using.
4.Cook: Place the remaining slices of bread on top, butter side up. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the sandwich stick together.
5.Serve: Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, then slice and serve.
