Avocado & Strawberry Grilled Cheese

By jennKI

Ingredients

• rustic whole wheat bread (in other words, steer clear of too-soft sandwich bread and stick with a heartier variety – I love Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Pane)
• sliced cheese (I opted for reduced-fat sharp cheddar)
• thinly sliced avocado
• thinly sliced strawberries
• cooking spray, non-hydrogenated margarine, or butter

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat.

Layer the cheese, avocado, and strawberry slices in between two pieces of bread.

Either coat the outside of the sandwich with cooking spray or spread with a bit of margarine or butter.

Place sandwich into panini press or skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and crisp, turning halfway through if using a skillet.
