The guacamole takes this grilled cheese sandwich to a whole new level of goodness.
Ingredients:
To make the guacamole:
2 ripe avocados 1/2 small onion, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small jalapeño, stems and seeds removed, minced ( I didn't have this on hand, but I would make it with a jalapeno next time) 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice ( I used fresh lemon juice) 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt A dash of freshly grated black pepper 1 Roma tomato, chopped 4 slices crusty white bread 4 slices Cheddar cheese ( I used Sharp White Cheddar) Butter, for buttering bread Directions:
1. To make the guacamole-cut avocados in
half. Remove seed. Scoop out avocado from the peel, put in a large bowl.

cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Add the
chopped tomato and stir.
2. Heat a pan or griddle to medium-high heat. Spread desired amount of guacamole on both slices of bread then top with cheese.
