Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough bread

1 cup fresh spinach

1 medium tomato, sliced

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Start by preheating a grill pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush one side of each slice of sourdough bread with olive oil to ensure it gets a nice golden crust.

    Layer the Ingredients: On the non-oiled side of two slices of bread, layer the fresh spinach evenly. Then add the tomato slices, mashed avocado, and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the cheese and season with salt and pepper.

      Top and Grill: Cover with the remaining two slices of bread, oiled side up. Carefully place the sandwiches on the grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

        Flip and Melt: Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich to the other side. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, occasionally pressing down slightly with the spatula to ensure the cheese melts evenly.

          Finishing Touches: Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is melting, remove the sandwiches from the pan. Drizzle the remaining balsamic glaze on top and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

            Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half, serve warm, and enjoy the gooey goodness of the Grilled Balsamic Sandwich Melt!
