Bacon-Guacamole Grilled Cheese

 

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.
