[equipments]Notes
- You can use vegan cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese in place of vegan mozzarella cheese.
- It will have a pizza-like flavor when you add slices of tomato to the sandwich.
- When grilling, I personally like to flatten the sandwiches. To do this, I use a grill pan on top of which I place something heavy.
- You can use any bread of your preferences.
- Use a ripe avocado for this recipe.
- Lettuce helps to keep this sandwich dry without making it moist because of the filling. So you can take them for lunch or picnics as well.
