Description
A delicious and cozy Avocado Bacon Grilled Cheese sandwich that combines creamy avocado, crispy bacon, and melted cheeses for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of artisan bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 ounces aged gouda cheese, shredded
- 3 ounces fontina cheese, shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 3 strips of crispy bacon, chopped
- Fresh herbs (like basil or cilantro) for garnish
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Drizzle the olive oil onto one side of each slice of artisan bread, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place one slice of bread, oil side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle a generous layer of gouda and fontina cheese over the bread.
- Evenly distribute the diced avocado and chopped bacon on top of the melted cheese. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Cover with the second slice of bread, oil side up. Allow it to cook gently for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is beautifully golden and the cheese starts to ooze.
- Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula, pressing down slightly, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is completely melted.
- Once cooked, transfer the sandwich to a cutting board, let it rest for a minute, and then slice it in half. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a smear of pesto or a slice of tomato.
- Experiment with different bread types, such as ciabatta or rye, for a delightful twist.
