Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Havarti cheese, sliced
- 1 whole Avocado, ripe
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until slightly chunky, then stir in the lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices and butter one side of each slice evenly with softened butter.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil to evenly coat the surface.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, into the skillet.
Top each slice of bread with 2 slices of Havarti cheese, followed by a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture.
Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up, to form sandwiches.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is evenly golden.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.
