Bread and Cheese
- 4 slices sturdy sandwich bread (such as sourdough or multigrain)
- 4 ounces melty cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a mix)
Guacamole
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Optional: 1/4 cup diced fresh tomato
For Grilling
- Butter or oil, for grilling
- Prepare the Guacamole: Mash the ripe avocados in a bowl gently with a fork. Stir in fresh lime juice, salt, pepper, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes if using. Mix carefully to keep some chunks for texture.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, spread a generous layer of guacamole, then evenly layer the cheese over it. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Grill to Golden Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip and grill the other side until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the bread is crisp.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich and let it rest for a minute before slicing to allow the cheese to set for neat, gooey bites.
Notes
- Choose riper avocados for creamier guacamole texture and better flavor.
- Control the heat of spicy additions by starting with small amounts.
- Use medium heat while grilling to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Press gently when flipping the sandwich to prevent spilling the filling.
- Experiment with different bread types like sourdough, multigrain, or baguette to vary the flavor profile.
