**Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich**
**Ingredients:**
- 4 slices thick-cut sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and mashed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 small Roma tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
**Directions:**
1. In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado, lime juice, diced tomato, red onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
3. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
4. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer each with 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 1 slice of Monterey Jack cheese, and 3 strips of bacon.
5. Spoon half of the guacamole mixture onto each sandwich, spreading it evenly over the bacon. Top with the remaining slices of cheese.
6. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
7. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the bottom bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula.
8. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, pressing down lightly, until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
9. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before slicing. Serve warm.
