How to Make a Bomb-Ass Grilled Cheese with Avocado and Red Onion

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Columbia Barnard chapter.

We all know that with melted cheddar and butter-fried bread you can’t go wrong. I have nothing against such standup consistency in a snack—I mean, meal (excuse me). But there are those special days you know? When you decide to wear a rainbow scarf. Or replace your usual greeting of, “sup?” with, “what’s poppin’ homie?” Sometimes we just need to spice things up by adding a little pizazz. Here’s one grilled cheese alternative that’ll help you avoid some weird stares and simultaneously titillate your tastebuds.

Easy

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 1 

Ingredients: 
2 slices sourdough bread
2 slices sharp cheddar
½ avocado
½ small red onion
1 tablespoon butter

Directions:
1. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
2. Cut onions and avocado into thin slices.
3. Place both pieces of bread onto the pan, butter side down. Use low heat.
