Roasted Red Pepper and Squash Grilled Cheese with Peppered Avocado

An adult grilled cheese that is full of flavor. As comforting as the kid version of white bread and cheese is this is just as comforting with a kick for discerning palates. Read: not living off of bland chicken nuggets and chocolate milk.

I think this sandwich is perfect for the weather right now. It tastes like summer with the squash and zucchini but at the same time fall with the melted cheese and roasted peppers. Don't ask me why roasted peppers make me think of fall, they just do. The fresh avocado slices give this sandwich just enough moisture so you don't have a dry sandwich but with health benefits beyond mayonnaise.
