Instructions

Lightly spread one side of all bread slices with butter.

Place one slice of bread on a plate, butterside down, and cover with 1 slice of cheddar, half of the avocado slices ( I mash them down a bit) and finally, a slice of gruyere or provolone cheese.

Top with the remaining piece of bread, butterside up.

Preheat a panini maker or saute pan over medium heat and cook the sandwiches until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.

Cut and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Your Bread, Not the Pan 🧈
Spread softened butter directly on the bread slices before cooking for even browning and better crust development than buttering the pan, which can burn and create hot spots.
Layer Cheese Strategically 🧀
Place the gruyere or provolone on the bottom layer (it melts slower and holds structure) and cheddar on top near the avocado, allowing each cheese to melt at its optimal rate while preventing the avocado from oxidizing.
Toast Bread First for Superior Texture 🥖
Lightly toast your sourdough slices before assembly to create a barrier that prevents moisture from the avocado from making the bread soggy while still achieving the ideal crispy-gooey balance.
Add Avocado at the Right Moment ⏱️
Slice and add the avocado in the final 30 seconds of cooking or immediately after flipping, ensuring it warms through slightly without browning or becoming bitter from prolonged heat exposure.
Use Medium-Low Heat for Even Melting 🔥
Cook on medium-low rather than medium-high to allow the cheese to melt completely before the bread over-browns, taking 4-5 minutes per side for a golden crust and fully melted interior.
