Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Josh’s brother is visiting us from California and we are having a great time. Caleb sure loves having his uncle around and I love having another person to feed:) The other day the guys wanted a snack so I whipped up a bowl of guacamole and made homemade baked tortilla chips. The guys were still hungry so I offered to make grilled cheese sandwiches. There was still some guacamole left so I asked them if they wanted a Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I don’t know if they were crazy about the idea, but agreed to try it. Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwiches sounded good to me:)
I used crusty white bread to make the sandwiches. I spread a thick layer of guacamole on each slice of bread and topped it with cheddar cheese. I buttered the outside of the bread and grilled the sandwiches to perfection. The guys loved the sandwiches and so did I-Josh shared his sandwich with me:) I mean, really, what is not to love-bread, melted cheese, and creamy guacamole? The best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had. Once you try a Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich, your life will be changed forever. So get going and make yourself a sandwich, you all need to experience the best grilled cheese on the planet.

Thanks Greg!
This sounds a-freakin’-mazing.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more enthused about grilled cheese!
Oh yum! You know I have been trying to get Rachel to try being creative with guac. I wanted to put it on pizza but she declined. I’d totally try this – think I will. I bet once she took a bite Rachel would love this too =D
Oh gosh, this sandwich looks awesome!! I adore grilled cheese and am always happy to find new variations. I can’t wait to try this, awesome idea!
This was absolutely fantastic! I rushed home and made one for lunch! Great idea

Makes a great lunch, huh?
I just made this and it’s fabulous — the only substitution I used was fresh sourdough bread because it’s what I had on hand and everything still tasted great!

Glad you liked it!
That DOES look SO good!
It is a delicious idea! I like it
Happy Wednesday
Grilled cheese is like the best thing on earth!! but when you add guacamole… WOW, best thing in the universe!
What an awesome idea! Love it!
What a great idea! I’ll be making mine with Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar (from Vermont, like me!) and avocados from our family farm in California! The Fuerte avocados are in season now…they’ll be scrumptious in this sandwich!
This looks so incredibly delicious!
ha! this is awesome. i bet even a little hummus in there wouldn’t be a bad thing, either
Now that grilled cheese has my name all over it! All my favorite flavors!
Now this is my kind of sandwich! I can’t believe I have never thought of this before. Bookmarked.
Oooh yes. I love when there are extra people around to cook for, too. I’d love it even more if I was making this divine sandwich!!
Holy Yum! Just decided what we’re having for dinner! Thanks!
I think this looks fantastic!
I’ve tried so many different varieties of grilled cheese. Why haven’t I thought of adding Avacado to it?! Amazing recipe. Can’t wait to try!
I never imagine we can use Guacamole in a sandwich, we eat it as a dip, but never inside a bread. And it’s strange because here in my country avocado sandwish is very common, in fact, is one of my favorites. There is a sandwish we caled “Triple” and is made with one slice of bread, mashed avocado, bread, egg, bread, tomato and bread.
This sandwich looks amazing! I wish I wasn’t allergic to avocado! I just love guacamole!
What a simple, awesomely do-able idea! This is why I love you
A colorful and good looking sandwich. Clever idea.
oooo la la this is my kind of grilled cheese!! #swoonx100000
ummm yes! This looks like it would make an awesome weeknight meal!
I know it’s a lot of fat, but I LOVE avocadoes and cheese together. SO.GOOD. This does sound like the best sandwich ever!
Oh my word…I want it. Will you save me one? I’ll be right over.
I could live on grilled cheese and with guacamole, even better!
omg why havent i thought of these before?!
What a fabulous combination. I can’t wait to give this a try! Great idea!
Ohhhhhhhh. Can I come eat at your house?
Between this sandwich, which is a combination I never would have thought of, and the polenta dish, which I am planning to try next week, wow. Thank you for such a lovely and inspiring blog. And congratulations again on your little one.
What a great idea – my kids love guacamole and grilled cheese, and together it must be super creamy tasting.
Oh, wow! This looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to give it a try!
Yum….My mouth is watering. You make it hard to try losing baby weight with all this yummy food!
This looks like all sorts of heaven
What a great idea!
