Avocado-Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich image

I LOVE avocados, especially the black Haas avocados. They're creamy and have such a "buttery" taste, and yet are cholesterol-free. This recipe makes a really delicious sandwich. When I make it for the kids, I eliminate the cumin, but add it when I'm making a sandwich for myself -- I like cumin's very mild spicy flavor that has a hint of caraway in it.

Time 26m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ripe avocado, halved, seeded and peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon finely minced parsley
8 slices bread (I use whole grain)
6 ounces monterey jack cheese, sliced
1 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mash together avocado, lemon juice, cumin and salt until smooth. Stir in parsley and set aside.
  • Top four of the bread slices with cheese; spread with avocado mixture and top with tomato slices. Add the four remaining bread slices on top. Using 1 tablespoon of the softened butter, spread some on the top of each sandwich.
  • Heat a large nonstick griddle or 12-inch skillet, over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches, buttered sides down. Carefully spread the remaining softened butter over the top of each sandwich.
  • Cook 4-6 minutes or until toasted, turning once.
