Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Skillet
Preheat a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it is hot enough to achieve a golden brown crust on the bread.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth. Season the mashed avocado with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting based on your preference.
Step 3: Mix the Cheese
In another bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing them well for an even distribution.
Step 4: Prepare the Bread
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich
Place the two slices of bread with mayonnaise side down in the skillet. Evenly spread the mashed avocado over the bread in the skillet. Sprinkle the garlic powder and onion powder over the avocado.
Step 6: Add Cheese and Basil
Layer the cheese mixture over the avocado. If using, top with the fresh basil leaves.
Step 7: Complete the Sandwiches
Top with the remaining two slices of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing up.
Step 8: Grill the Sandwiches
Grill the sandwiches in the skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 9: Serve
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.
