"As I have evolved, so has my beloved grilled cheese sandwich! It has 3 types of cheeses and a kick. It will make you feel so grown up just eating it." — Tammy9988

Directions

Preheat skillet on medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter onto one side of each slice of bread to cover evenly. With buttered sides of the bread facing out, layer 1 slice American cheese, 2 slices tomato, and 2 slices avocado onto each of 2 of the bread slices. Sprinkle about half the basil, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt atop the avocado layer. Finish by topping each with half the mozzarella and 1 slice provolone. Top each with 1 of the remaining bread slices with the buttered side facing out.
Cook in hot skillet until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Oh, YUM...LOVED this sandwich! I halved the recipe to only make one sandwich, and used Tuscan bread, yellow American cheese and a bit of dried basil b/c I had no fresh (will have to try it that way next time). The flavor combination in this sandwich is wonderful, and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the addition of the pepper flakes! I sort of just eyeballed all of the seasonings b/c, frankly, I didn't feel like busting out the measuring spoons, lol. This would be great w/ any cheese combo, IMO. I love finding new sandwich/grilled cheese recipes to try, and this one is a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

The flavor of this was good. For the seasonings I just added them to taste. I used the American cheese and mozzarella, but didn't have provolone. I also used the wheat bread as suggested, but think a white Italian or French bread would have been better. It was good and filling, but quite a lot going on in the sandwich. The only other change I made was using low-fat dairy products. I added up the calories as I made it and it came to 360, so the 672 seems to be a bit off. I ate this for lunch today, but I have had other flavored grilled cheese from the site that I liked much better.

This was delicious! The only change I made was I put extra tomato & avocado slices on each sandwich (my preference!) The flavors came together so well! I think next time I'll add a slice of bacon :)
