Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 slices pepper jack cheese
  • ½ cup mashed avocado
  • Tomato 
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • pepper
  • butter

Instructions

  1. Heat a 10-inch pan over medium heat. Drizzle all 4 slices of bread with olive oil on only one side. Lay two slices, greased side down, onto pan. Grill until golden, then remove to cutting board and replace with remaining two slices. Repeat for the other slices
  2. Assemble each sandwich. Spread butter on grilled slice of bread. Add pepper jack, avocado, garlic and tomato. Don't spread to the edges of the bread to keep ingredients from fall on the pan.
  3. Drizzle the top of each sandwich with olive oil, and place greased side down directly onto hot pan.
  4. Wait until cheese in bottom layer has melted and bottom of sandwich is golden.  When ready, gently flip over and repeat with other side. Remove to a cutting board and slice.
