Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese
A comforting and flavorful sandwich featuring crispy bacon, creamy guacamole, and melted cheese, perfect for a quick meal any time.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (sourdough or any preferred sandwich bread)
- 4 ounces Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack) Shredded cheese melts faster than slices
- 3 to 4 slices Bacon (cooked until crisp or chewy) Use leftover bacon if available
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup Guacamole (store bought or homemade) Use thick guacamole to avoid sogginess
- 1 tablespoon Butter or mayonnaise For spreading on the outside of the bread
Optional ingredients
- 1 slice Tomato Optional for added freshness
- 1 slice Red onion Optional for added crunch
- 1 tablespoon Jalapenos Optional for heat
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce Optional for extra flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your skillet on medium to medium-low heat.
- Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on the outside of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread (buttered side out), add cheese, bacon, guacamole, more cheese, and top with another slice of bread (buttered side out).
Cooking
- Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula.
- If the bread is browning too fast and the cheese isn't melting, cover the pan for a minute or two.
- Let the sandwich sit for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use thick guacamole to prevent sogginess. Enjoy with a bowl of tomato soup or pickles on the side.
