Preparation Steps

Gather all your ingredients for the Creamy Avocado Grilled Cheese.
Slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and mash the flesh in a bowl.
Mix in lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of butter-side down in the hot pan, add cheese, then the avocado mixture, and top with another slice of bread butter-side up.
Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and grill the other side.
Remove from the pan, cool for a minute, slice in half, and enjoy!
Spread remaining avocado mixture on one half of the sandwich before completing.
