It's a Mexican twist on a delicious classic--grilled cheese with refried black beans and avocado.
Ingredients
- 8 slices La Brea Bakery Rustic 8 Grain Loaf
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ lime
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup refried black beans
- ½ pound pepper jack cheese, sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Toss avocado slices with lime juice in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the re-fried beans in a microwave-safe bowl until warm, stirring until smooth.
- Arrange the bread slices in pairs on a cutting board. Slather each piece of bread with a tablespoon of refried beans. Arrange the avocado on half of the bread, followed by the cheese. Top with the remaining bread, bean-side down.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. Brush the pan with olive oil and cook the sandwiches in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the sandwiches to a baking sheet.
- Bake the sandwiches in the oven until the cheese is very melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.
