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.

Sounds amazing!
I think this is really a great treat for me if I made one on breakfast
I love this idea! Like you, I’m always looking for new ways to dress up the boring old Grilled Cheese. My kids love guac, so I am sure this will be a hit with them. Another one that has really worked for us is Grilled Cheese and Jelly. Brighter, tarter flavors of Jelly work best with this. It’s kind of like a cheese platter for kids. And adults.
i could eat this sandwich right off my computer screen!
Yum! I’ve been putting avocado and bacon on our grilled cheese the last couple weeks – it’s so good. But guacamole would add even more flavor! I love tasty, easy dinners.
The thought of this sandwich makes me so happy. I <3 guacamole!
What a great idea! I am not a huge fan of grilled cheese, but I love guacamole on just about anything. These look amazing!
I’m not much of a plain grilled cheese person, always have to add something and THIS sounds beyond delicious!!! I will be trying at my house:)
Oh what a fabulous idea!!! Thanks for sharing Maria!
OH MY GOSH. i cannot wait to make this!!!
I just pinned this to my sandwich board. I mean are you kidding me with this!!??? YUUUMMMMMM
oh my gosh, now this just sounds crazy good!!! I’m a total sucker for guacamole
What a great combination!
Such a great idea, Maria! I can imagine Gaby will be loving this!
Oh man, this looks amazing! I just posted about an egg salad I made with guacamole. Basically, I could eat guac with everything. Not to mention, cheese
Yes, it’s official, guacamole makes everything better! I have a hard time with plain old grilled cheese – too one-note for me. This is genius Maria!

Now that’s a nice looking grilled cheese!
Is it me or does the image of the sandwich have a bread, cheese, guac, cheese, bread arrangement? It looks that way to me. The instructions read bread, quac, cheese quac, bread order. Not that it matters all that much, i just wanted to be clear!
Thanks.
