Tomato soup or corn chowder
A side salad with lime vinaigrette
Pickled onions or jalapeños on the side
This sandwich pairs well with iced tea, sparkling water with lime, or a light beer.
Tips for Success
Use room temperature butter to ensure even spreading.
Low and slow heat is key for melting cheese without burning the bread.
Don’t skimp on guacamole, but avoid overstuffing—it will spill out during grilling.
Shred your own cheese for the smoothest melt. Pre-shredded cheese may contain anti-caking agents that interfere with melting.
Variations
Spicy Version
Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne to the guacamole.
Use Pepper Jack cheese for a little heat.
Vegetarian Option
Omit bacon or use plant-based alternatives.
Add grilled mushrooms or roasted red peppers for a meaty texture.
