Guacamole Grilled Cheese

Step 1

Prep Guac: Add 2 heaped tbsp coriander/cilantro, 1 finely diced small onion, 1 finely diced deseeded jalapeño, 1 finely diced small clove of garlic and the zest of 1 lime to a chopping board and begin to mix and dice. Once the pieces are very finely diced, sprinkle over 1/2 tsp salt and spread the mixture with the blade of your knife. You're essentially looking to create a paste like texture.

Step 2

Make Guac: In a medium sized mixing bowl add avocados. Scrape in the flavour paste and gently smash everything with a potato masher or firm fork, just until everything is combined. Add lime juice, remaining coriander/cilantro, extra virgin olive oil and seasoning to taste. Stir with a spoon and gently press until desired texture (leaving it a little chunky will give the sandwich some stability).

Step 3

Prep Grilled Cheese: Spread one side of your slices of bread with butter. Place 2 of them butter-side-down in a pan with the heat OFF. Top with Monterey Jack, followed by bacon, followed by around a heaping 1/4cup of guac, then finished with a sprinkling of Cotija. Top with a second slice of bread butter-side-up.

Step 4

Cook: Fry both sides until the bread is golden/crispy and the cheese has melted. Prep your other two sandwiches as these are cooking then repeat. Serve up and enjoy (there will be leftover guac so grab some chips and tuck in!)
