How to Make Grilled Avocado Sandwich With Garlic Spread

  1. **Make the Garlic Spread:** In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil, whisking constantly until emulsified.
  4. **Prepare the Ciabatta:** Gently scoop out a small amount of the inside of a ciabatta loaf, creating a slight hollow to accommodate the filling.
  5. Slice the ciabatta loaf on an angle into 3-4 sandwich-sized pieces.
  6. Slice each piece in half lengthwise.
  7. Brush both sides of each bread slice with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
  8. Spread a generous layer of garlic spread on the inside of the bottom half of each sandwich. Reserve any leftover spread.
  9. **Layer the Filling:** On each bottom slice, layer 2-3 slices mozzarella cheese (about 1 oz total), 2-3 slices tomato (about 1/2 medium tomato), 3-4 slices avocado (about 1/2 medium avocado), and 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese.
  10. Top with the other bread slice.
  11. **Grill the Sandwich:** Lightly brush a grill pan or griddle with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
  12. Place the sandwiches on the hot pan.
  13. Top with a heavy pan to weigh down the sandwiches (prevents them from falling apart).
  14. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
  15. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
