"Who doesn't like a grilled cheese sandwich? Anyone? Anyone? I didn't think so. ... What's easier to make than a grilled cheese sandwich? Not much! ... When you add avocado to a grilled cheese sandwich, who can resist the combo? Definitely NOT ME! -- I take no credit for this all-occasion recipe. It was found at realsimpledotcom & looked too good not to share AND add to my "Avocado Collection"cookbook. I'm entering the recipe as written, but please read my note at the end of the prep steps and ENJOY!"

NOTE FROM ME: I've entered the recipe as written, but my preference would be to use either http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/a-california-inspired-avocado-hummus-hybrid-by-chef-jeff-cerciello-23378 .. OR .. The avocado butter from http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/smoked-salmon-brie-appetizer-sandwich-or-wrap-with-avocado-butter-no-cook-23565 instead of the avocado slices. Just saying you have other options

Smells Like Salad

I'm always open to a new direction for grilled cheese sandwiches. This one was good. I used a smoked gouda and light whole wheat bread. A few pea shoot tendrils added some bulk for this was our main dish with a cold soup on a very hot day. Thank you for posting. Next time I'll try white cheddar cheese. Made for the FYC tag game.

This is a really lovely grilled cheese sandwich Twisted. The filling is delicious, rich, cheesy and creamy. Quick and easy to make. I grilled the bread so that it was well done and had a lovely crust, it worked well with this recipe. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy often. Made FYC Tag Game.
