I mean, just cheese in general is delicious on its own, but when it’s in melty, ooey-gooey form, sign me up!
Today, I’m talking about one of my favorite comfort foods! Yep, you guessed it, grilled cheese sandwiches. It reminds me of when I was little and would have it for lunch after playing outside in the snow.
Nowadays, playing in the snow isn’t on my agenda, but I still like to curl up with a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup. Mmm mmm good!

I usually keep avocados on hand because I love to slice it up for a quick snack or add to salads or eggs. I used an entire avocado on this sandwich, but feel free to adjust it based on your tastes. And tomatoes, you can’t go wrong with tomatoes! And you only need two slices for this sandwich, unless you want to make it thicker, your preferences!
And let’s not forget about that mozzarella cheese. I used thin slices of deli mozzarella cheese for that epic melt. You could also use fresh slices of mozzarella cheese, but it takes a lot longer for that cheese to melt because of the thickness.
Season everything with a little salt and pepper, but your bread slices, and pop that sandwich onto a hot skillet. Within minutes, your melty, tasty, avocado-y, cheesy sandwich will be ready to be devoured. How about that for comfort food?
