Description
This Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich from Closet Cooking combines crispy bacon with creamy guacamole and melted cheese, all grilled to perfection. It’s a savory twist on the traditional grilled cheese that elevates it from a simple comfort food to a gourmet delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, at room temperature
- 2 slices of sourdough bread (use gluten-free bread if needed)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 2 slices), at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons guacamole, at room temperature
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
- 1 tablespoon crumbled tortilla chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer a slice of cheese, the cooked bacon, and spread the guacamole. Top with the second slice of cheese and cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side out.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the sandwich and grill until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Press down lightly with a spatula for even grilling.
- Serve Warm: Cut the grilled sandwich in half and serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey and the bacon is warm.
Notes
- Use freshly made guacamole for the best flavor.
- For a crispier texture, cook the bacon until extra crispy.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for new flavors.
