Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 slices marbled rye bread, divided
4 teaspoons softened salted butter, or as needed, divided
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
4 slices shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
4 slices Swiss cheese (such as Lorraine®)
1 tomato, thinly sliced
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced

Steps:

Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over high heat until skillet is warm; reduce heat to medium.
Arrange 2 bread slices in the hot skillet. Add 1 teaspoon butter under each slice in the skillet; flip bread so butter-side is face-up. Spread about 1 teaspoon mustard onto each bread slice; top with 1 slice Cheddar cheese, 1 slice Swiss cheese, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Top each avocado layer with 1 slice Cheddar cheese, 1 slice Swiss cheese, and 1 slice bread. Spread butter onto top piece of bread; flip sandwich and cook until cheeses are slightly melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer sandwiches to a microwave-safe plate and heat in microwave until cheeses are fully melted, no longer than 30 seconds.
