If you’re like me, you know that no matter what time of the year it is, you’re always in the mood for a smooth, creamy avocado! So, I surfed the web to find the most delicious and satisfying grilled cheese recipes with avocado!
Muenster and Avocado Grilled Cheese
I really enjoyed this recipe because it incorporated something different than the others—rather than putting butter on the two sliced of bread, thekitchn.com replaced the butter with Mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. This will add much more flavor to your grilled cheese!
Ingredients:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 slices Arla Muenster Sliced Cheese
- 1/3 cup loosely packed baby arugula
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Preparation:
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on one slice of bread. Add the avocado in an even layer and sprinkle with the black pepper. Add the 2 slices Arla Muenster Sliced Cheese and top with the arugula and the second slice of bread.
Add 1/2 tablespoon butter to a small skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the assembled sandwich and cover. Cook until the first side is golden brown (about two minutes) then add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Flip the sandwich, giving the skillet a shake to distribute the melting butter, then cover and cook until golden brown on the second side (another two minutes.) Serve warm.
Extreme Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
This next recipe gives you lots of wiggle room to incorporate your own taste. If you like chicken and bacon in your grilled cheese, you can add those in there, but if you prefer something closer to the classic grilled cheese, this avocadocentral.com recipe gives you a delicious sandwich with two types of cheese that pair perfectly with the refreshing taste of avocado!
Chef’s Note: Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe, fresh Hass avocado
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices baby Swiss cheese
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- Spicy mustard (like the hot Chinese stuff) to taste
- Mayonnaise, as need
- Optional grilled chicken breast, cooked bacon slices
Preparation:
Heat a pan over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of mayo on the outside of 4 slices of bread. Place them mayo-side-down on the hot pan. Slice the cheese and lay it on top of the bread in the pan. Add the meat if you’re making a club sandwich. Spread the inside of the remaining bread slices with the mustard and place on top of the sandwiches in the pan. Spread a thin layer of mayo on top. When the bottoms of the sandwiches are nicely browned, flip them.
While the sandwich is grilling, cut the avocado in half and scoop it into a bowl, without the pit. Give it a quick mash with a fork. (Slices tend to slide out of the sandwich when you bite into it.)
When the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwiches from the pan. Open each sandwich and top with 1/4 of the mashed avocado. Close them back up, cut in half, and scarf! Don’t forget the dill pickle!
Bacon, Tomato and Avocado Grilled Cheese
For almost a century, Betty Crocker has been trusted by millions of people across the country. So, there was no doubt in my mind when I saw this grilled cheese recipe that it would be juicy, flavorful, and all around delicious.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
- 8 slices white or whole wheat bread
- 1 small onion, chopped (1/3 cup)
- 8 slices bacon, crisply cooked
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
Preparation:
1. Place 1/4 cup cheese on each of 4 bread slices. Divide onion, bacon, tomato and avocado evenly onto bread slices. Top with remaining cheese and bread slices. Spread 2 teaspoons butter over each top slice of bread.
2. Place sandwiches, buttered side down, in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Spread remaining butter over top slices of bread. Cook uncovered about 5 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until bottoms are golden brown and cheese is melted.
