FAQ
Does cheese and avocado go well together?
Aged cheddar, Brie, goat’s cheese chevre, and burrata are the top 4 cheeses to pair with avocado.
Is it better to make grilled cheese with butter or mayo?
Because of their mild flavor, avocados go incredibly well with all kinds of cheese.
How do I make grilled cheese more interesting?
The exterior of the sandwich should be slicked with mayo, which has a higher smoke point than butter and has the combined browning power of oil and egg yolks, to ensure golden (not burned) toastiness.
