01
Step 1
Start by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit. Score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern, then scoop out the little cubes into a bowl. Warm up the mango jam in the microwave for about 20 seconds until it’s nice and runny, then stir it into the avocado along with some lemon juice, finely chopped red onion, salt, and pepper.

Step 2
Next, mix together the butter and canola oil with the Dijon mustard until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread, then flip them over so the buttered side is down on your cutting board.

Step 3
Place slices of jack cheese on the unbuttered side of the bread, then spread the avocado mixture over the cheese. Top with the other piece of bread, butter side facing up.

Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy. Slice them diagonally and enjoy!
