Avocado Toast Topped with Grilled Cheese

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

4 slices multigrain bread 2 large avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed 2 tablespoons diced red onion 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by moving an oven rack so it’s about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Lay your bread slices on a baking sheet and pop them under the broiler for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until they get nicely toasted. While that’s happening, mix together some mashed avocado, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro in a bowl. Once the bread is toasted, spread the avocado mixture evenly on top and sprinkle a good handful of Parmesan cheese over it. Slide the baking sheet back under the broiler for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and gets a little bubbly. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn, and then you’re ready to dig in!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Grill the cheese on medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring it melts evenly.
- Toast the bread until golden brown to add a nice crunch that contrasts with the soft avocado.
