Ingredients
For the sandwich
-
2 slices bread (sourdough or thick-cut preferred)
-
2–3 slices cooked bacon
-
2–3 slices cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack
-
1–2 tbsp butter, softened
For quick guacamole
-
1 ripe avocado
-
1–2 tbsp lime juice
-
1 tbsp finely chopped onion (optional)
-
1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
-
A pinch of salt
-
A few dashes hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the guacamole
Mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and any optional add-ins until smooth or chunky — up to your preference.
2. Assemble the sandwich
-
Butter one side of each bread slice.
-
On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer:
-
cheese
-
bacon
-
a generous layer of guacamole
-
more cheese (helps seal and melt)
-
-
Top with the second slice, buttered side facing out.
3. Grill
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the sandwich 2–4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Press gently with a spatula for extra crispness.
4. Serve
Let rest 1 minute, slice in half, and enjoy warm.
