Instructions
- Preheat Broiler: Preheat your broiler and place the slices of bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for toasting.
- Assemble Sandwich: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on one slice of bread, add fresh cilantro sprigs and tomato slices on top, then cover with more shredded cheddar cheese on the other slice of bread.
- Broil Sandwich: Broil the sandwich for about 30 seconds, just long enough to melt the cheese without wilting the cilantro.
- Add Guacamole: Remove the sandwich from the broiler and spread the guacamole evenly on the melted cheese layer.
- Cook in Skillet: Heat the butter in an iron skillet over medium-high heat, then place the sandwich in the skillet, browning both sides until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich and enjoy your flavorful guacamole grilled cheese.
Notes
- Use an iron skillet for even heat distribution and a crispier crust.
- Be careful not to overbroil to keep cilantro fresh.
- Adjust guacamole quantity for creaminess preference.
- Try using multigrain or sourdough bread for added flavor.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately while warm and melty.
