Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon
- 2 slices sour dough bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup jack and cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons guacamole, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon tortilla chips, crumbled (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
on the weekend I figured I would just pick up double the ingredients and make both. The basic idea behind this grilled cheese is quite simple and it started out with just adding guacamole to a grilled cheese but with the success of combining salty bacon-y magnificence with cool and creamy guacamole I could not resist adding a few slices of bacon to the sandwich. I also had some leftover corn tortilla chips from dipping on the weekend so I decided to crumble a few of them and add them to the sandwich for texture.
Like all grilled cheese sandwiches this one is pretty easy to make though you want to try to remember to pull the guacamole out of the fridge early so that it can come up to room temperature before adding it to the sandwich. Having all of the ingredients of the sandwich at room temperature is going to help ensure that the cheese melts into ooey gooey goodness so pull the cheese and butter out of the fridge at the same time as the guacamole. The only real problem with this guacamole grilled cheese sandwich is that it can be a bit messy to eat but I was not really thinking about that as I wolfed mine down. This sandwich is certainly one amazing way to enjoy any leftover guacamole and it is even worth making a fresh batch of guacamole just to make some grilled cheese!
Servings: makes 1 sandwich
Directions
Grill over medium heat until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Seriously! You make the best grilled cheese sandwiches!
That looks so delicious I started salivating right away, lol. I must make this, and soon!
Oh how I wish I wasn't allergic to wheat and dairy!! Our next challenge is to make an allergen-free version of this. I think we can do it! I promise it's gonna be insaaane.
I love your dedication to the Grilled Cheese!! I am enjoying all your variations on the standard sandwich we all know and love!
not fair to post such a thing..this looks and sounds incredible! i promised myself i'd make one tomorrow for lunch :)
sorry but I think I will gain weight just by looking at your latest posts, everything looks cheesy, delicious and perfect I might break my diet and make this sandwich
I'm a vegetarian... so I'm using soy bacon... but I can't believe I actually have everything on hand to make that! I'm so having this for lunch, and I'm hungry so lunch must be now haha!
Holy moly! Best grilled cheese I have ever had. Saw the post, started to salivate, had to make it pronto. Mine was not as pretty as yours but it was definitely delicious. :)Thanks
This looks absolutely delish! I make grilled sandwiches all the time, but your bacon guacamole looks heavenly!
I really wish I was staying in tonight so I could make this. I guess I'll just have to save it for my inevitable post Super Bowl hangover.
Even though it seems decadent, there's really no better foil for melted cheese than avocado--I agree. But adding bacon?! Damn! Can't wait to try.
This sandwich sounds freakin' amazing! It's going on my to make list this week. I'm now hooked and following your blog now. Stopped by from That's What We Said.
How about adding a tomato in there too!
zasa42: There is already some tomato in the guacamole but adding some big fat juicy slices of tomato to the sandwich would also be good!
This looks amazing. I'm going to save this recipe to make. Do you know how many calories are in a half? I figured I will eat only half the sandwich.
This looks sinfully delicious! I must make this as soon as possible! Thanks for the inspiration and the great post/tutorial!
Omg I've been dreaming of a bacon avocado grilled cheese sandwich and this looks to die for! I'm going to make this this weekend!
I saw this recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a try yesterday but I added and subtracted a couple of ingredients. I used 3 strips of bacon, added thin sliced fresh tomatoes and used pepper jack cheese. Made 6 of the sandwiches and there wasn't a crumb left!! Fantastic fast lunch or supper idea. Thanks!
Just made this sandwich for myself and it was soo so good! I'll have to make it for my husband sometime without the bacon (cause he is a vegetarian), I'm sure it'll still be very good.
I made this tonight for my BF and I. I did half pepper jack and half cheddar cheese. And on my bfs I added grilled onion. It was soooo good.
I made this tonight and it was incredible! The flavor combo was perfect. I used pita chips instead of tortilla chips, but I wouldn't recommend leaving out chips altogether. This perfect sandwich demands that extra crunch. I will definitely make this again.
SarahN @ livetolist: I find that it helps to make sure that all of the ingredients are brought up to room temperature before grilling.
