Recipe Details
Grilled Cheese With Bacon, Tomato, and Avocado Recipe
Ingredients
-
2 slices bacon, sliced in half crosswise
-
2 slices hearty white bread, such as Pepperidge Farm or Arnold
-
2 teaspoons butter
-
2 slices American or cheddar cheese
-
2 slices ripe beefsteak tomato
-
1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
-
Kosher salt
Directions
-
Place bacon in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet and cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until crisp all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and bacon fat to a small bowl.
-
Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Melt butter until foaming subsides. Add both bread slices and cook, swirling occasionally, until pale golden brown on bottom side, about 2 minutes.
-
Transfer to a cutting board toasted-side-up. Place one cheese slice on top of one slice, followed by bacon, tomato, and avocado. Top with second cheese slice and close sandwich.
-
Add half of reserved bacon fat to skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Add sandwich and cook, swirling occasionally, until deep, even golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove sandwich using a flexible metal spatula. Add the remaining bacon fat. Return sandwich to skillet cooked-side up. Season with salt. Cook, swirling occasionally, until second side is deep, even golden brown and cheese is thoroughly melted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
