How do you do that better grilled avocado cheese

This Grilled Avocado Cheese isn’t rocket science, but it certainly tastes like it! Here are some key things to keep in mind when preparing your grilled avocado and cheese sandwich:

• Salt tomatoes and avocado. Salt and drain the tomatoes before making the sandwich. Then, when you add just the right amount of kosher salt, you get gooey, toasted perfection.
• Butter the bread generously OR use mayonnaise. If you don’t put enough butter on the bread slices, they won’t take on a nice golden color. You want the bread to get a nice toast when you’re making grilled cheese! Another option: use mayonnaise on the outside of the bread—and on the inside! This makes it even richer and tastier.
• Use good quality shredded Cheese. The star of any homemade grilled cheese is—you guessed it—the cheese. It is important that you buy quality cheese. If your grocery store has a deli counter, buy the cheese there instead of buying the pre-packaged products for better taste. Shredded cheese is the key to a fluffy, super cheesy, melty grilled cheese.

For best results, use an artisanal bread.

Use hearty artisanal bread to take the grilled avocado cheese on top! We’ve found that hearty, crusty bread makes great grilled cheese that tastes like your favorite restaurant. Remember that the bread you use should also be strong enough to hold the tomato and avocado filling!

How to cut an avocado

2. Take a towel and put the avocado on it. In one gentle but quick motion, tap the knife into the pit of the avocado.
