Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- â…“ cup guacamole
- 5 fresh sprigs of cilantro
- 2 slices of tomato
- â…“ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat Broiler: Preheat your broiler and place the slices of bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for toasting.
- Assemble Sandwich Layers: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on one slice of bread, layer fresh cilantro sprigs, and add tomato slices on the other slice. Top with additional cheddar cheese to ensure a gooey melt.
- Broil Sandwich: Broil the sandwich under the heat for about 30 seconds just until the cheese starts to melt, taking care not to wilt the cilantro.
- Add Guacamole: Remove the bread from the broiler and spread guacamole evenly over the melted cheese to add creamy texture and flavor.
- Pan-fry Sandwich: Heat butter in an iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the assembled sandwich into the skillet and cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and enjoy your guacamole grilled cheese hot and fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh guacamole for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute cheddar with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
- Watch the broiler closely to avoid burning the bread or wilting the cilantro.
- If you prefer a spicier twist, add a pinch of chili flakes or jalapeño slices.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a lighter version.
