Jalapeños

Avocado
- Avocado slices
Salsa
- Your favorite salsa
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and pre-slicing the cheese, jalapeños, and avocado. This will make assembly quick and easy. Also, have your preferred salsa ready to go.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer the cheese, jalapeños, and avocado. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for as many sandwiches as you want to make.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Cut them in half and serve with a dollop of salsa on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Cooking on medium heat ensures the cheese melts thoroughly without burning the bread.
- Using butter gives a rich flavor, but oil works if you’re looking for a lighter option.
- Use a spatula to gently press the sandwich as it cooks to enhance that beautiful grill mark.
- Always opt for the freshest vegetables and high-quality cheese to elevate your flavors.
- Don’t be afraid to try out different spices or add-ons to find your ideal flavor profile.
