Ingredients
Scale
-
Bread & Butter
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
- 2 slices sourdough bread
-
Cheese & Fillings
- 1/2 cup Colby jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons guacamole, room temperature
- 4 slices bacon, cooked
- 3–4 tortilla chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. This ensures an even golden grill on your sandwich.
- Butter the Bread: While the skillet heats, spread room temperature butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help your bread turn perfectly crisp and golden.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a non-stick surface or directly into the skillet. Layer half of the shredded cheese on the unbuttered side, then gently spread on the guacamole, add the cooked bacon, and scatter optional tortilla chips. Top with the remaining cheese and finish with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated skillet. Grill for 2-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Finish: Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwich. Cook the other side for another 2-4 minutes, or until golden and the cheese has melted. Remove from skillet and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For even melting, let the guacamole come to room temperature before assembling the sandwich.
- Try adding a dash of hot sauce to the guacamole for extra kick.
- Swap Colby jack for another cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
