Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices bread
- 4 strips bacon (cooked)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) guacamole
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter (softened)
Instructions
- Generously coat one side of each bread slice with softened butter, ensuring complete coverage for optimal golden-brown crispiness.
- Arrange the unbuttered side of two bread slices as the base, layering a generous spread of creamy guacamole across the surface.
- Distribute crispy, crumbled bacon pieces evenly over the guacamole, creating a savory foundation.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese liberally across the bacon, allowing maximum cheese coverage.
- Crown the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, positioning the buttered side outward for perfect grilling.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, creating an ideal cooking temperature around 350°F.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwiches into the heated skillet, allowing them to sizzle and develop a rich, golden-brown exterior for approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently flip the sandwiches using a spatula, ensuring even cooking and melting of the cheese.
- Continue grilling the opposite side until achieving a uniform golden color and the cheese becomes completely melted and gooey.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Butter Matters Choose room temperature butter for easier spreading and even coverage on bread.
- Cheese Melt Technique Grate cheese fresh for optimal melting and use low-medium heat to prevent burning.
- Bacon Crispness Ensure bacon is thoroughly cooked and crispy to add perfect crunch to the sandwich.
- Guacamole Consistency Drain excess liquid from guacamole to prevent soggy bread and maintain crisp texture.
