Making this grilled cheese is so easy! Follow these simple steps!

How to make a California Grilled Cheese:

**scroll down for full ingredient list and printable directions**

  • Gather all of the ingredients; turkey breast, tomatoes, avocado slices, cheese, bread slices, butter, and mayonnaise.California Grilled Cheese is full of turkey breast, tomatoes, creamy avocado and melted gooey cheese! This grilled cheese is perfect for lunch or dinner!
  • Assemble the grilled cheese sandwiches: Add butter to the outside slices of the bread, then on the inside add sliced cheese, turkey, tomato, avocado, and another slice of cheese. Slather mayo on inside of top slice of bread, then close sandwich.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add sandwich and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat.
    • DO NOT turn the heat higher as you don’t want the bread to burn while the cheese does not melt. Cooking over a medium heat allows the cheese to melt and bread to be toasted. 
  • Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for 1-3 more minutes, watching carefully not to burn (will cook more quickly on the second side). Remove and cut in half.  EAT!
  • Repeat the above steps for the second sandwich.
