This sandwich combines creamy avocado with rich jack cheese, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The fruit glaze adds a touch of sweetness that makes every bite unique and satisfying. It’s a simple yet delicious twist on a classic melt.

Cooking Advice

- Use ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
- Grill the sandwich slowly over medium heat to melt the cheese without burning the bread.
- Spread the fruit glaze evenly to enhance the flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.

Step 1

Cut the avocado in half and take out the pit. Score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern, then scoop the little cubes into a bowl with a spoon. Warm up the mango jam in the microwave for about 20 seconds until it’s nice and runny, then stir it into the avocado along with some lemon juice, finely chopped red onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and canola oil 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.

Step 3

Place the cheese on the plain side of the bread, then spread the avocado mixture over the cheese. Top with the other slice of bread, butter side facing up.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy. Slice them diagonally and enjoy!

Serving Inspiration

Serve warm with a side of fresh salad or crispy sweet potato fries. A light drink like iced tea or sparkling water pairs well to balance the richness.

Food Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to keep the cheese melted and the bread crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
