Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 10 min | Total Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of sourdough or artisan bread
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 4 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp butter (softened)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh basil or chives for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions (Detailed):

1. Preheat your pan over medium heat.
   👉 A cast-iron skillet works great for extra crispiness!
2. Butter one side of each bread slice. Lay them butter-side-down on a clean surface.
3. On two slices, layer your ingredients:
   • Start with mozzarella
   • Add tomato slices
   • Then avocado
   • Season lightly with salt & pepper
   • Optional: add fresh basil leaves for extra flavor 🌿
4. Top with remaining bread slices, butter-side-up.
5. Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and cheese is melty 🧀🔥
6. Slice in half and serve warm. Add a sprinkle of chopped chives for a fresh finish.

✅ Pro Tips:

• Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt—low-moisture works, but won’t be as creamy.
• Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy twist.
• Store leftovers wrapped in foil and reheat in a toaster oven to keep them crispy!
