4 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Slice the avocado and tomato into even slices.
Season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board.
Layer the mozzarella slices evenly on the bread.
Add the tomato slices on top of the mozzarella.
Place the avocado slices on top of the tomato.
Add fresh basil leaves on top of the avocado slices if using.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
3. Cook the Sandwich:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the bread browns too quickly before the cheese melts, reduce the heat slightly.
