- 2 slices bread
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) hummus
- 1/4 cup (30 g) feta cheese
- 2 tbsp (28 g) butter
Cheese and Dairy:

- 2 tbsp (30 ml) cream cheese
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Mash avocado with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus on one slice of bread, ensuring full coverage to the edges.
- Layer the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the hummus, creating a rich, green base.
- Crumble feta cheese over the avocado layer, distributing it uniformly for balanced flavor.
- Add a slice of mozzarella cheese and dollop cream cheese across the surface for extra creaminess.
- Top with the second slice of bread, pressing gently to compact the ingredients.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring even coating of the pan.
- Drizzle olive oil around the edges of the skillet for additional flavor and crisp texture.
- Carefully place the sandwich in the heated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
- Gently flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and bread becomes crispy.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use super ripe avocados for maximum creaminess and easier mashing, ensuring smooth texture throughout the sandwich.
- Experiment with different bread types like sourdough or whole wheat for varied nutritional profiles and unique flavor dimensions.
- Consider toasting bread lightly before assembling to prevent sogginess and enhance structural integrity of the grilled cheese.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular bread with gluten-free alternatives without compromising taste or sandwich structure.
