ALEXA'S GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over high heat until skillet is warm; reduce heat to medium.
• Arrange 2 bread slices in the hot skillet. Add 1 teaspoon butter under each slice in the skillet; flip bread so butter-side is face-up. Spread about 1 teaspoon mustard onto each bread slice; top with 1 slice Cheddar cheese, 1 slice Swiss cheese, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Top each avocado layer with 1 slice Cheddar cheese, 1 slice Swiss cheese, and 1 slice bread. Spread butter onto top piece of bread; flip sandwich and cook until cheeses are slightly melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer sandwiches to a microwave-safe plate and heat in microwave until cheeses are fully melted, no longer than 30 seconds.

GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Spread about 1/2 tbsp of butter (more or less, if you prefer) on one slice of bread, and place on skillet or griddle (butter side down).
• On the other side, spread 1 tbsp Chive & Onion Cream Cheese (once again you can use more or less than the recipe calls for, just use your judgment).
• Place 1 to 2 tomato slices on top of cream cheese.
• Then place 1 slice of pepper jack cheese and 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tomato slices (I don't recommend using more than 1 slice of each kind of cheese, otherwise the sandwich will be overloaded).
• Spread 1/2 tbsp of the butter on the other slice of bread and place (butter side up) on the top of the sandwich.
• Repeat for the 2nd sandwich.
• Cook until golden brown on each side & enjoy!
