Fall in love with this Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Omg, I tried this and loved this. There are so many different combinations of cheese you can swap out. 

Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

2 slices bread (try to find one filled with lots of different whole grains and seeds)
2-3 tablespoons Green Herb Pesto or see (Recipe)
2 slices mild white melty cheese like mozzarella
handful fresh baby spinach
¼ avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
olive oil (and butter optional )

Directions

Spread about 1 tablespoon of Green Goddess Herb Pesto onto each slice of bread (2 tablespoons total, but if you’re sensitive, go light, the pesto is STRONG).

On one slice of bread, add 1 slice of cheese, sliced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, spinach, second slice of cheese, then top it with the second slice of bread. Press together gently.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. (If you want to use butter, add it to the oil and let it melt). Add the sandwich to the oil and cook until bread is golden brown. Press down on the sandwich lightly, then flip the sandwich over and cook until the second side is golden brown.
