Grilled Cheese is my hands-down favorite type of sandwich… I like all kinds, basic sliced cheese on bread, sure, Gouda Avocado Pesto Grilled Cheese on Grainiac bread? YES… and everything in between.. I’m not a picky grilled cheese eater… This amazing deluxe grilled cheese today is more than just a sandwich, it’s a gourmet meal that looks like an innocent sandwich.
Serve it up with some tasty tomato soup and your favorite fruit or veggie side.
What really makes this grilled cheese is the rich Arla Dofino cheese and the hearty Eureka! Grainiac bread, add the flavorful toppings of spinach, avocado, and pesto and you have yourself a really {REALLY} tasty sandwich.
Arla Dofino is available in a variety of retail stores nationwide. Find Arla Dofino in the deli section (not the dairy section) of most stores.
Eureka! Organic Bread
Delicious, organic bread bursting with rich flavor and chewy goodness. Available in three varieties:
• Grainiac

Where to buy Eureka! Organic Bread
Eureka! Oreganic Bread is available in a variety of retail stores nationwide.
This may not be the grilled cheese you want to serve at your next party for kids, but serve it to adults because it’s definitely a grown up grilled cheese.
Ok, ready to make your own gourmet gouda, avocado, pesto grilled cheese? This recipe makes four sandwiches.
You will need:
Arla Dofino Gouda Cheese, sliced
1 loaf Eukera! Grainiac bread
2TBS butter
2 ripe avocados
4 TBS pesto
1 cup fresh baby spinach
Prepare the avocado and cheese by slicing. Butter one side of 8 slices of bread. Place bread butter side down and spread with 1 TBS pesto, then layer the gouda, avocado and spinach on top. Place the other slice of bread butter side up. Repeat with the other three sandwiches. Heat a fry man over med. heat. Place two sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-5 min or until browned. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove and cook the other two sandwiches. Serve hot with your favorite sandwich sides.
