Avocado and Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese

The following recipe and photography were provided by local blogger Carolyn Hodges of The Dinner Shift.

Grilled cheese gets a simple but elegant upgrade with goat cheese and loads of green goodness. These sandwiches are stuffed with both mozzarella and garlic-herb goat cheese, which melt together for the ultimate creamy combo.

Layered on hearty whole grain bread with fresh spinach, basil and lots of avocado, these sandwiches will make any weeknight meal feel extra special. Serve them alongside fresh fruit or a side salad.
