Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Spread
- 2 slices of bread
- â…“ cup guacamole
- ½ tablespoon butter
Cheese & Vegetables
- â…“ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 fresh sprigs of cilantro
- 2 slices of tomato
Instructions
- Preheat the Broiler: Preheat your broiler and place the slices of bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for melting cheese.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on one slice of bread, then layer the fresh cilantro and tomato slices on another. Top with additional cheddar cheese to cover the toppings.
- Broil to Melt Cheese: Place the sandwich under the broiler for about 30 seconds until the cheese begins to melt but the cilantro remains fresh and not wilted.
- Spread Guacamole: Remove the sandwich from the broiler and evenly spread the guacamole over the melted cheese layer.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat butter in an iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook, flipping to brown both sides evenly, until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich if desired and enjoy your flavorful guacamole grilled cheese while warm.
Notes
- Use fresh cilantro to maintain its bright flavor during broiling.
- Watch closely when broiling to prevent burning as cheese melts quickly.
- Butter the pan, not the bread, for a crispier crust and easier flipping.
- For added flavor, try using pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese instead of cheddar.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
