Pinterest Challenge:
This week's Pinterest Challenge, was so simple and so tasty, I will definitely be coming back for seconds. I found this amazing picture of an avocado, tomato and mozzarella grilled cheese a while back and it was time to try and whip one up myself.
 |
| Here's the picture that started me on my quest to make one rather yummy grilled cheese. It was pinned from FoodGawker.com. |
I loved this idea for a grilled cheese because it was a twist on a classic grilled cheese and because I'm no Martha Stewart when it comes to cooking, it was a very simple recipe and easy to master.
Here's what you'll need:
- Bread: I went with Boule bread. It's a great bread for sandwiches. I had the bakery slice it for me so the slices would be even.
- Cheese: Mozzarella. It's better to use fresh mozzarella. But you can substitute any type of cheese, it's a grilled cheese there really are no rules.
- Two Avocados Sliced
- One Large Tomato Sliced
- Balsamic Glaze
- Butter
Recipe:
- Preheat your non stick pan on medium.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter.
- Using a brush, brush the first slice of bread evenly with your butter. (This makes for a crispy grilled cheese)
- Place several pieces of fresh mozzarella on the first slice of bread.
- Pour a nice amount of balsamic glaze over the fresh mozzarella.
- Place first slice on pan and let it sit for two minutes, allowing the bread to brown.
- With your second slice of bread again brush evenly with butter.
- Slice your avocado and place on bread followed by sliced tomato. (It's better to put the avocado down first so it's easier to flip later.)
- Place second slice of bread on top of the first slice and flip, let it brown for two minutes or until you see the mozzarella is melted to your liking.
- Now it's time to enjoy!
Here is my result:
 |
| Heaven on a plate. |
 |
| Gooey Goodness paired with Crispy Bread. |
Note: I paired this yummy sandwich with a fried egg over baby greens to give it a more upscale, gourmet look.
This sandwich was so delicious, my guy Kyle actually ate two of them, it was so simple to make and the flavors from the mozzarella, avocado, tomato and balsamic glaze really complimented each other nicely. It tasted just like summer.
