Grilled Cheese with Avocado
This Grilled Cheese with Avocado is what happens when comfort food goes to yoga class and comes back glowier. It’s creamy, buttery, and so good it’ll make you forget about every “clean eating” promise you made last week. The avocado melts into the vegan cheese like they’re on a tropical honeymoon, and honestly, we’re all just here to watch. It’s crispy on the outside, luscious inside, and ridiculously satisfying. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or that 11 p.m. “I deserve this” moment. Because girl, balance means cheese on one side, avocado on the other.
