How to Make Tomato Avocado Grilled Cheese

  1. In a small bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Lightly spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on each of two slices of your favorite bread.
  5. Turn one slice of bread, mayo-side down, into a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  7. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the cheese. Top with 2-3 slices of tomato and the remaining bread slice (mayo-side up).
  8. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the fillings are warmed through.
  9. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
  10. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  11. Remove from skillet and enjoy immediately! The subtle mayo adds richness without overpowering the other flavors.
