Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices of bread
- â…“ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh Ingredients
- â…“ cup guacamole
- 5 fresh sprigs of cilantro
- 2 slices of tomato
Other Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat Broiler: Preheat your broiler and arrange the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for toasting.
- Assemble Sandwich: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over one slice of bread, layer fresh cilantro sprigs and tomato slices over the other slice, then top with more shredded cheddar on top.
- Broil: Place the sandwich under the broiler and broil for about 30 seconds, just until the cheese starts melting but the cilantro remains fresh and unwilted.
- Add Guacamole: Remove the sandwich from the broiler and spread the guacamole evenly over the melted cheese layer.
- Grill in Skillet: Heat butter in an iron skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the sandwich to the skillet and cook, flipping carefully, until both sides are browned and the cheese inside is fully melted.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and enjoy your guacamole grilled cheese while warm.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and freshly made or good quality guacamole for best flavor.
- Broil carefully to avoid wilting the cilantro; watch closely during the 30-second broil.
- Butter the skillet rather than the bread for a crispier, more evenly browned crust.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- This recipe makes one sandwich; multiply ingredients accordingly for more servings.
