Avocado Grilled Cheese Recipe

Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DNM, CN – Grilled cheeses are pretty darn awesome. But I’m not talking about the processed yellow cheese sandwiches of your youth. This Avocado Grilled Cheese is a totally delicious, grown-up version.

It’s made with two types of cheeses, feta crumbles (feta is one of the healthiest cheeses) and Pecorino Romano, decidedly not plain ole American cheese. It’s also super creamy thanks to the addition of benefit-rich avocado. And it gets an extra protein boost from the chicken tenders — try my Turkey Bacon-Crusted Chicken Tenders for that ingredient.

In fact, no rival grilled cheese will pack as much of a macronutrient punch, with each serving providing 29 grams of healthy fats, 28 grams of protein and 36 grams of energizing carbs.

When you need a lunch or dinner that’s simple to make, tastes amazing and the entire family will love, this avocado grilled cheese is it!

In a high-powered blender, mix avocados, garlic and lemon juice, and purée till smooth. This creamy spread is going to infuse your avocado grilled cheese with a ton of flavor.

Next, melt butter in a pan and add the bread slices, gluten-free or sprouted wheat berry. On one side, top the bread with the shredded chicken and feta cheese. On the other bread, add the Pecorino Romano cheese and fresh tomato slices.

This avocado grilled cheese looks great already, but it’s about to be even better …

When the bread slices are golden brown on the bottom, about 3–5 minutes, remove the sandwich halves and place them on a plate. Choose a side and spread the avocado mixture all over it. Delicious!

Then, move quickly and carefully and bring the sandwich halves together to avoid spilling (although don’t let that yummy filling go to waste!).

This avocado grilled cheese is great for a simple dinner — just pair with a side salad. You can even omit the chicken if you don’t have any on hand or want to keep this vegetarian, or even replace the chicken with turkey bacon.

Once you try this avocado grilled cheese, you’ll never go back!
