Ingredient Breakdown and Substitutions
Bread
The foundation of any good grilled cheese is sturdy bread. For this recipe:

Sourdough offers a tangy flavor and chewy bite.

Texas toast or artisan white bread is thick enough to hold the fillings.

Avoid flimsy, thin-sliced bread—it won’t support the gooey center and may fall apart.

Cheese
Choose cheese that melts smoothly and complements the avocado and bacon:

Cheddar (sharp or medium) adds a tangy bite.

Mozzarella brings gooey stretch.

Monterey Jack or Colby Jack gives a mild, creamy texture.

Pepper Jack for a hint of heat.

Mixing cheeses is encouraged for more depth.
