Grilled Cheese with Creamy Jack and Fruit-Glazed Avocado
This sandwich combines melty creamy Jack cheese with the sweet, tangy twist of fruit-glazed avocado for a deliciously unique grilled cheese experience. It’s a quick, comforting meal that’s perfect for any time you want something simple yet special.
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern, then scoop out the little cubes into a bowl. Warm up the mango jam in the microwave for about 20 seconds until it’s nice and runny, then gently mix it into the avocado along with some lemon juice, finely chopped red onion, salt, and pepper.

In a separate bowl, combine the butter-canola blend with the Dijon mustard until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice, then flip them over so the buttered side is down on your cutting board.
