Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Our weekend was super relaxed. My mother-in-law was in town and we spent the weekend visiting with Grandma and watching LDS General Conference. It was a really nice weekend. I am feeling really rejuvenated. I've been extremely tired and rundown with 2 littles and with the move so it's really nice to feel that way.
Anyways, I made this wonderfully awesome sandwich Sunday afternoon and I am heading out to the store today to buy the ingredients to make it again. I was expecting awesome (I mean, how can you go wrong with goat cheese and pesto?) and it did not disappoint. Although I did forget to add the mozza. If you want a delicious, grown-up grilled cheese make this.

Ingredients:

2 slices bread 
2-3 tablespoons Pesto
2 slices mild white melty cheese like mozzarella (I didn't use any and it still turned out so yummy)
handful fresh baby spinach
¼ avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
olive oil (and butter if you’re so inclined)

Directions:

Spread about 1 tablespoon of Green Goddess Herb Pesto onto each slice of bread (2 tablespoons total, but if you’re sensitive, go light, the pesto is STRONG).
On one slice of bread, add 1 slice of cheese, sliced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, spinach, second slice of cheese, then top it with second slice of bread. Press together gently.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium low heat. (If you want to use butter, add it to the oil and let it melt). Add the sandwich to the oil and cook until bread is golden brown. Press down on the sandwich lightly, then flip the sandwich over and cook until second side is golden brown.
