ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, halved, seeded, and peeled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 6 ounces sliced jack cheese
- 1 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
directions
- In a small bowl, mash together avocado, lemon juice, cumin and salt until smooth. Stir in parsley. Set aside.
- Lightly spread mayo on each of the bread slices. To build your sandwich, turn one slice of bread mayo side down in skillet; top with cheese; spread with avocado mixture and top with tomato slices the remaining bread slices.
- Cover your skillet with a lid or foil and cook on medium-low for several minutes to allow the cheese to melt and fillings to warm. Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high. Continue cooking until your bread is done to your liking.
- Note: You may substitute butter for the mayo, however, I find that the mayo makes the bread crispier and less greasy than butter. And it leaves no mayo taste behind.
