Just a few ingredients including avocado, cheddar cheese and tomato are all it takes for this quick and delicious Avocado and Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
In a small bowl, mix the avocado with the lemon juice and salt. Set aside.
Butter both slices of bread on one side and put together (butter sides together). Then you can build your sandwich on top of the non-buttered side facing up.
Layer ingredients in this order: 1 slice of cheese on the bread, 2 tomato slices, half smashed avocado, and another slice of cheese.
Repeat with remaining ingredients for second sandwich.
Heat a saute pan or panini maker over medium-low heat.
Lift up layered bread and place in heated pan or panini maker then place second piece of buttered bread on top (buttered side up).
When the bottom piece of bread is slightly browned, flip over and continue to grill until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a panini maker you won't need to flip it.
Remove the sandwich from the pan and repeat grilling for second sandwich.

Notes
Try using different types of cheese to change things up. When assembling your sandwiches layer both slices with butter sides together.Then layer your sandwich fillings…first the cheese, then the sliced tomatoes and finally the smashed avocado. I like to do it exactly in that order so that the tomato is in between the cheese and avocado layers and keeps the tomatoes from sliding out of the sandwich when you’re eating it.After you move your ingredient layered slice of bread to the pan or panini maker, you will then have your other buttered piece of bread ready to place on top of the sandwich ingredients.See photos in post to help with the step-by-step.
