Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread cream cheese. Layer with sharp cheddar, Gruyère, fresh basil, tomato, and avocado. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat, cut the sandwich in half, and serve immediately with your favorite wrap or salad.
