Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp softened butter
  • 4 slices gluten free bread
  • 4 slices cheese cheddar or colby jack
  • 4 slices Roma tomato
  • 1 small avocado thinly sliced
  • 4 slices chicken or turkey breast

Instructions

Items Needed:

  • A table knife
  • A large non-stick pan
  • A spatula

Directions

  • Using a table knife and 1.5 tablespoons of the butter, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each piece of gluten free bread.
  • Put the remaining butter in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
  • Flip two slices of bread so the buttered side is facing down and the unbuttered side is facing up. Place one slice of cheese on each piece of bread, followed by two slices of turkey or chicken, half a sliced avocado, two slices of roma tomato, and the second slice of cheese (on each of the two pieces of bread). 
  • Place the the other pieces of bread with the unbuttered side face down on top of the slices of cheese. Next, carefully place both sandwiches into the hot pan using a spatula, being careful not to crowd them
  • Cook the sandwich for 3-4 mins on medium-low, turning the heat to low if the sandwiches are browning too quickly before the cheese begins to melt.
  • Once the first side is browned and the cheese is getting melty, flip the sandwich over with the spatula and cook for 3-4 more minutes on low.
  • If the sandwich is getting brown but the cheese isn't melted yet, turn the heat to the lowest setting to slow the cooking but letting the cheese melt.
  • Once the cheese is melted to your liking, remove the sandwiches with the spatula and let cool slightly before serving.
