Grilled Cheese w/ Avocado

Remember recently when the avocado craze happened? Avocado is offered everywhere... and I'm glad it is, because 1) avocado gives you over 20 essential nutrients- including Vitamin E, B vitamins, potassium, and fiber 2) thus, they help your heart 3) they are an essential part of guacamole, which I love and 4) It tastes good in general, so why not add it to other tasty things to make it awesome all around?

I haven't made this yet and I must admit I've been doing terrible at raw... so I'll be making it tonight and then I'll post and rate it. I'm quite hopeful for this. I'll be making a version as vegan as I can get with what I have- Avocado, bread, vegan margarine, and veg cheese. So here ya go.

Serves 2 people or 1 really hungry person.
The req's:

  • 1 avocado, pitted and sliced
  • 4 slices bread of your choice
  • cheese- can be vegan, shredded, sliced, or whatever you fancy
  • margarine or butter of your choice
The steps:
  1. Spread margarine on all 4 slices of bread. 
  2. Lay out the cheese and avocado. I like a lot of cheese and this is vegan so I'm probably going to use 2 slices per sandwich. The avocado will go between and the cheese shall be the glue. Genius.
  3. Heat the pan. Place the sammich on that pan and let it cook about 2/3 minutes per side... depending on how grilled you want your cheese. Ha ha ha.
  4. Put it on a plate. Stare at it. Possibly make a can of soup.
  5. Devour.
The results: 
I wasn't able to get photos, but they turned out incredible! One thing was that the avocado was a little bit unripe and so it was still a bit firm when we were eating them... and that wasn't really something I wanted. Next time I'll go for softer avocado, or I'll mush it up and put it on the grilled cheese with a spoon!

I also made it for three people instead of two and used slightly smaller avocados... so two of those worked great.

I'd give it a 3/5... maybe if it was softer and I had some tomato soup as well it would've been perfect.
