Avocado, Tomato & Habanero Monterey Jack Grilled Cheese

One of my hubby’s favorite foods is avocado,
and we both enjoy a good grilled cheese,
so when I saw a scrumptious looking recipe combining
the two at Better Homes and Gardens,

This cheese is a big part of the deliciousness of this sandwich and gives it a bit of heat.

First, peel the avocado (I wash the outside first),
take the seed out and mash it up with a fork.

Grilled Cheese in the Oven
This is not only ridiculously easy, but the cheese gets extra gooey, and the bread a bit chewy.

  1. I love this recipe for sandwiches ( it looks better than Starbucks and cheaper) and will be making it for the Fourth of July weekend. I would love if you would share a post on my meet up Monday Blog Party. I am doing a Fourth of July cupcake tutorial on Tuesday and I know your post will be an awesome addition! Here is where you can add your post on Monday! http://lifewithjennifer.wordpress.com/
