Get Your Cheese On

A must try for any of you cheeseheads.  Need meat?  Add bacon or turkey.

3 Cheese, Avocado, and Tomato Sandwiches
  • Sliced cheddar cheese
  • Sliced provolone cheese
  • Sliced mozzarella cheese
  • Butter
  • Tomato
  • Avocado
  • Sliced bread (we recommend sourdough)

Directions
  1. Slice tomato and avocado.  Set aside.
  2. Melt a little butter in a skillet and place two slices of bread on the melted butter.  Add all cheeses on one slice of bread - we typically use two slices of each cheese.
  3. Let cheese begin to melt.
  4. When bread is toasted and cheese is melted to your liking, remove from skillet.
  5. Add tomato and avocado slices, and put the sandwich together.  You can put the completed sandwich back on the skillet if you want to melt the bread slices together - just be careful not to burn it!
  6. Enjoy!

*Note - Andrew enjoys it served with mustard.  If you want to add bacon or turkey, we suggest adding the meat once the cheese has begun to melt.  The bacon should be cooked before you put it on the cheese.
