Cheese has always been one of my favorite foods. As a child I remember sneaking some cheese whenever my mom was in the kitchen, or simply grabbing a Kraft Single on my way out to play. I also remember my mom always made my brother a ham and cheese sandwich using Kraft Singles, but I liked my cheese plain. That is…until I discovered the grilled cheese sandwich. Melty cheese on bread? So simple yet so delicious!
When I went to college and had my own apartment, I started experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches. It was around this time when I noticed Kraft Singles came in more varieties than American, and I was very excited to see they came in Swiss! I made a tasty little combo with a slice of cheddar, a slice of Swiss, some sauteed onions, all on multi-grain bread. Grilled cheese perfection every time. Oh…the memories!
That was all many years ago, yet my love for experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches continues to this day. Mike and I like to mix it up with tomatoes, sunflower seeds, onions, bacon (for him)…really nothing too crazy, but always tasty. This time, I thought it would be fun to experiment with guacamole and make a Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
For a while now, I have had a recipe flagged for a grilled cheese made on the stove top and in the oven, without any butter. This sounded like the perfect method for the Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The result? Amazing! The stove-to-oven method gives the bread a crispy exterior without any frying or being greasy. The cheese is perfectly melted, and the guacamole can shine right through. This Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a fun and tasty twist on a childhood favorite.
