Ingredients for Avocado Ham And Cheese Melt

  • Pita Bread
  • 1/4 of a ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1-2 slices of your favorite cheese per pita half (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone recommended)
  • 2-3 slices of ham per pita half

How to Make Avocado Ham And Cheese Melt

  1. Preheat your grill or griddle to medium heat.
  2. Cut a pita pocket in half.
  3. Layer 2-3 slices of ham inside each pita half.
  4. Top the ham with 1-2 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone work well).
  5. Mash 1/4 of a ripe avocado and spread evenly over the cheese.
  6. Grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pita is lightly toasted. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from grill and enjoy immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
