A warm, gooey Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich combining creamy homemade guacamole with melted cheese on perfectly toasted bread. This quick and easy recipe balances comfort food richness with fresh, vibrant flavors for a satisfying and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Guacamole

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 small tomato, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Sandwich

  • 4 slices sourdough or whole wheat bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Guacamole: Start by mashing ripe avocados in a bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add fresh lime juice, finely diced tomato, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning as needed to create a vibrant and flavorful guacamole base.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out your sliced bread and generously spread the guacamole over one slice. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top of the guacamole, then place the other bread slice on top to form a sandwich.
  3. Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on the outside surfaces of the sandwich. This will help achieve that crispy, golden exterior essential for any great grilled cheese.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook until the bread is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip carefully and grill the other side until the cheese melts thoroughly and the bread is toasted through.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, and enjoy immediately to savor the perfect melt and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest guacamole.
  • Don’t overload the sandwich with guacamole to prevent sogginess.
  • Grill on low to medium heat to ensure the cheese melts without burning the bread.
  • Press gently with a spatula while grilling to help ingredients bind smoothly.
  • Try different breads like rye, multigrain, or ciabatta for varied texture and flavor.
