Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Bread and Butter
01 -
4 slices sourdough or preferred bread
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Filling
03 -
4 slices cooked crispy bacon
04 -
1 cup (100 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
05 -
1 ripe avocado
06 -
1 small tomato, diced
07 -
1 tablespoon (15 millilitres) lime juice
08 -
Salt, to taste
09 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
10 -
Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a bowl, mash the avocado until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Add lime juice, diced tomato, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
02 -
Evenly spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Lay 2 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top each with a generous layer of guacamole, then divide bacon and cheese evenly on top. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired. Cover with remaining bread, buttered side facing out.
03 -
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches into the pan and cook 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is melted. For extra melty cheese, cover the pan briefly while grilling.
04 -
Transfer grilled sandwiches to a board, allow to cool slightly, then slice in half and serve immediately. Enjoy warm, optionally with chips, salsa, or your preferred dip.
# Notes:
01 -
For a spicy variation, add sliced jalapeños to the filling.

Thick-cut bread enhances crunch and supports the filling.
03 -
Turkey bacon can be used as a lighter substitute for pork bacon.
