Is there anything better than a crispy, gooey grilled cheese? What about adding some avocado to take it to the next level!? Game changer.

What kid doesn’t love a grilled cheese? Heck! What adult doesn’t love a grilled cheese? When my kids see this crispy, gooey, delicious Grilled Cheese with Avocado in their lunch box they lose their minds. I know a grilled cheese doesn’t seem that exciting, but the combo of a really good bread, two cheeses, avocado, and a little love, of course, makes this sandwich something special.

I’ve been making this particular grilled cheese sandwich for years, and it’s one of my entire family’s favorites. The best part is getting to choose which cheeses you want to layer around your avocado. We typically do a really yummy cheddar with a gruyere or provolone but you could choose any slices of your favorite cheese or whatever you have on hand! You could even add in some deli meat to this sandwich if you wanted. The possibilities are endless!

Lunch can be tough sometimes, so I like to have some favorites in my back pocket that I know everyone loves and I can make easily. This recipe obviously makes the lunch time list, but we’re also loving a simple Avocado Toast at the moment or these Caprese Wraps or even a Nut Free Granola with some yogurt or almond milk and fresh berries!

Planning ahead your meals for the week helps so much with lunch time. There’s nothing worse than hunger creeping in around noon and not having any idea what to make to satisfy your belly. I make meal plans every week for me and my family (and for you!) and knowing what’s coming up helps so much. Once everyone is hangry (believe me I’ve been there) and wanting something for lunch it’s too late so take it from me and have a plan!

So what’s the verdict? Will you be adding avocado to your grilled cheese sandwich this week?

  4. Does it bother him if the avocado oxidizes and is a bit brown? I suppose tossing it with a bit of lemon juice would help that issue, but not sure if it would change the flavour too much.

  5. I’m confused by this as a lunch recipe. Do you prepare this in the morning and then put in his lunch box to eat cold? Sounds yummy, but not sure how it would hold up in a refrigerator for 3 hours. Thanks.

  6. […] how simple and yummy the recipes are! So fun to read too… So far i’ve only tried the Grilled 2 Cheese Avocado Sammie (loved it) and will be making the Turkey Pesto Meatballs tomorrow. Check it out! She does […]
