Ingredients

4 bread slices
1 avocado ripe
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
2 tbsp butter softened
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Mash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork, then mix in the salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, stir together the shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar.
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread, then spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of 2 bread slices.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the 2 bread slices with mayonnaise in the skillet, mayonnaise side facing up.
Spread the mashed avocado over the mayonnaise, then sprinkle with garlic powder and onion powder.
Add the cheese mixture on top of the avocado, then add fresh basil leaves if using.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

Use ripe avocado so it mashes easily and gives the sandwich a creamy texture.
Cook over medium heat so the bread gets golden while the cheese has time to melt.
