Tips:
- Choose ripe avocado: For the creamiest and best flavor, select avocados that are ripe but still firm. Slightly yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use quality bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings is ideal. Try a hearty sourdough, whole wheat, or multigrain bread.
- Make the Boursin spread ahead of time: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. It can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When grilling the sandwiches, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Serve immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh and hot off the grill.
