Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, room temperature
- 2 slices sourdough bread (gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (or 2 slices), room temperature
- 2 tablespoons guacamole, room temperature
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
- 1 tablespoon tortilla chips, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly. This buttery layer will help create a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- Assemble the sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly. Add the guacamole layer carefully over the cheese, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and tortilla chips. Top with the remaining cheese, then place the other slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing out.
- Grill the sandwich: Preheat a pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the pan and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden and the cheese has fully melted, another 2-4 minutes.
- Serve: Once the sandwich is toasted and hot in the center with melted cheese, remove from the pan. Let it cool slightly before enjoying this deliciously messy grilled cheese.
Notes
- Allow guacamole, cheese, and butter to come to room temperature before assembling to help the cheese melt thoroughly.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Bacon and tortilla chips are optional but add great texture and flavor.
- This sandwich is messy to eat, so be prepared with napkins!
- Feel free to customize with different types of cheese or add fresh tomato slices for extra freshness.
