I have loved eating grilled cheese for as long as I can remember. Until I was in my 20’s, these delicious sandwiches consisted of cheddar cheese and bread with butter on the outside. It’s wasn’t until I started trying new cheeses that I started to come up with some really delicious combinations. And this sandwich falls into this category! This isn’t just a plain and simple grilled cheese, it has two different cheeses in it. Now, move over avocado toast, here comes an avocado and Boursin grilled cheese sandwich!

Ingredients
- Bread – Any type of bread will do here. I used a fluffy whole wheat bread. Sourdough would be incredibly delicious as well.
- Mayonnaise – Not much is used, but it brings up the flavour of this sandwich. If you don’t like mayo, you can easily skip it.
- Boursin Cheese – I used the herb and garlic type. You could play around with this and pick a cheese based on what you prefer.
- Havarti Cheese – This adds another layer of delicious flavour. Mozzarella would work really well here too.
- Avocado – Make sure it’s ripe, and use as much as you like. I used half an avocado on this sandwich.
- Salted Butter – Just a little bit on the outside of the bread makes for a delicious crispy and golden sandwich.
How to Make this Avocado and Boursin Grilled Cheese
- Butter the outside of your two pieces of bread. Preheat a cast iron pan over medium low heat.
- Add mayonnaise to one slice of the bread.
- Spread Boursin cheese on the other slice of bread. Layer the avocado over the Boursin, top with a slice of havarti, and then the mayo slice of bread.
- Place the sandwich in the hot pan and cook until golden, flip and cook until golden and crispy. It’s important to watch the sandwich to make sure it doesn’t burn. If needed, turn down the heat and cook for longer until all of the cheese is melted through.
