Guacamole Grilled Cheese
I make so much guacamole these days, I swear it takes me less than 5 minutes to whip up now. Usually, I’m making a larger batch for something else - whether it’s for chips and dip or a main meal, but whenever I have leftover guacamole, this is what I make for my lunch.
Grilled cheeses (that’s cheese on toast to my fellow Brits!) are such a good quick snack and they’re made infinitely more delicious with the addition of guacamole. I like my guacamole with a little tomato and red onion for texture, and a pinch of cumin to really add depth to the flavour. But the most important thing to remember when making guacamole is the avocados need to be perfectly ripe - unripe avocados have no place in a guacamole and they really won’t taste good!
I went for a slightly healthier version of the grilled cheese for this recipe - cooking the sourdough using the broiler, rather than using the skillet and all the butter that comes with it!

Method

- To make the guacamole, place the avocado in a large bowl and mashing with a fork.
- Next, add in the onion, tomato, greed chilli pepper, cilantro, cumin, salt, black pepper and lime juice, and mix it all together.
- Now you've made you're guacamole, place the slices of sourdough in the oven and cook one side until golden brown.
- Then turn the slices over and cover one with cheese and the other with guacamole. Broil for around 3 minutes, until the cheese has melted, remove from the oven and put the 2 slices together, finishing your perfect guacamole grilled cheese!
