Oh WOW! So many textures and flavors, your taste buds are going to be really happy with this grilled cheese. Grating the cheese helps melt it to ooey gooey gooey goodness. I did use the pepper bacon and would recommend it ... adds that extra pop of flavor.

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slice thick bacon (pepper bacon sounds good), chopped
2 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 oz pepper jack cheese, grated
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 Tbsp guacamole (freshly made)
2 Tbsp tortilla chips, crushed
2 slice bread, sour dough, if you have it
sweet butter, unsalted, to coat the bread

Steps:

  • 1. DANGER MAD SCIENTIST AT WORK
  • 2. Grate the two cheeses, make the guacamole, crush the tortilla chips, and melt the butter.
  • 3. Gather all the ingredients.
  • 4. Chef's Tip: Because we want the cheese and other ingredients to nicely melt into the sandwich, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
  • 5. Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl with the cumin, and set aside.
  • 6. Place the bacon in a sauté pan (big enough to hold the sandwich), and cook until just about crisp.
  • 7. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
  • 8. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan.
  • 9. Butter one side of each of the two slices of bread.
  • 10. On the unbuttered side of one of the bread slices, add half the cheese.
  • 11. Next spread the guacamole.
  • 12. Add the bacon.
  • 13. Cover with the crushed tortilla chips.
  • 14. Add the remainder of the cheese.
  • 15. Cover with the other piece of bread. Butter side up.
  • 16. Cook in the sauté pan over medium heat until the bread is golden, and the cheese has melted, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • 17. Chef's Note: If the pan is too hot, you'll burn the outside of the bread before the cheese has a chance to melt. Medium heat is all you want.
  • 18. Serve with some additional chips, and your favorite salsa, as a dipping sauce for the sandwich. Enjoy.
  • 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

This grilled cheese sandwich was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the sandwich was a bit dry. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
