Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Sourdough Bread: Choose thick slices for optimal crunch and chewiness; it’s like a warm hug for your fillings.
- Fresh Avocado: Ripe avocados are essential—look for ones that yield slightly when pressed.
- Green Goddess Dressing: Homemade or store-bought works wonders—just ensure it’s full of fresh herbs.
- Cheddar Cheese: A sharp cheddar adds depth of flavor; feel free to mix in some mozzarella for extra meltiness.
- Butter: Use good quality unsalted butter to achieve that perfect golden crust.

Let’s Make it together
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by slicing your sourdough bread into thick pieces—this helps achieve that delightful crunch when toasted. Slice your ripe avocado thinly and set aside so it’s ready to go when you’re assembling the sandwich.
Spread the Goodness: Generously slather one side of each slice of bread with butter—you want all those buttery vibes absorbed during cooking. Then spread a layer of green goddess dressing on the unbuttered side.
Add Your Fillings: Layer sliced avocado on top of the dressing and sprinkle shredded cheddar over it like confetti at a party—don’t be shy; we want cheesy goodness.
Heat Things Up: In a skillet over medium heat, place one slice of bread (dressing side up) and cover it with another slice (buttered side out). Grill until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side should do the trick.
Flip & Cook Until Cheesy: Carefully flip your sandwich using a spatula—don’t let that gooey filling escape. Grill until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted beautifully.
Slice & Serve.: Once cooked, gently transfer your masterpiece onto a cutting board and let it cool slightly before slicing in half; this lets all those delicious flavors settle down before indulging.
