Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay out the bread slices. On one slice, layer the mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, and avocado.

Prepare for Grilling:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread butter or drizzle olive oil on both sides of the sandwich.
Grill the Sandwich:
- Place the sandwich on the hot skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
