Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Updated March 26, 2019
Josh’s brother is visiting us from California and we are having a great time. Caleb sure loves having his uncle around and I love having another person to feed:) The other day the guys wanted a snack so I whipped up a bowl of guacamole and made homemade baked tortilla chips. The guys were still hungry so I offered to make grilled cheese sandwiches. There was still some guacamole left so I asked them if they wanted a Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I don’t know if they were crazy about the idea, but agreed to try it. Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwiches sounded good to me:)
I used crusty white bread to make the sandwiches. I spread a thick layer of guacamole on each slice of bread and topped it with cheddar cheese. I buttered the outside of the bread and grilled the sandwiches to perfection. The guys loved the sandwiches and so did I-Josh shared his sandwich with me:) I mean, really, what is not to love-bread, melted cheese, and creamy guacamole? The best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had. Once you try a Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich, your life will be changed forever. So get going and make yourself a sandwich, you all need to experience the best grilled cheese on the planet.
Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich
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
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- A dash of freshly grated black pepper
- 1 Roma tomato chopped
For the Grilled Cheese:
- 4 slices crusty white bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- Butter for buttering bread
Instructions
- To make the guacamole-cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avacado from the peel, put in a large bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Add the chopped tomato and stir.
- Heat a pan or griddle to medium-high heat. Spread desired amount of guacamole on both slices of bread then top with cheese. Butter outer slices of bread and grill on one side for about 2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip the sandwich and grill until golden brown. Make the other sandwich the same way and serve warm.

I never would have thought about putting guacamole in a grilled cheese sandwich but this looks and sounds amazing!
Oh this looks crazy good and I just happen to be getting a CSA box full of avos…later today!
Yum! This looks so good!
Um, I think I need to stay home from work today JUST so I can have this sandwich for lunch!
I would have to make this sandwich first… there is never *leftover* guac in my house. 😉 Looks divine!
Fancy grilled cheese is so yummy! I never thought to add guac! Kaylin is trying avocado next- I can’t wait!
Guac in grilled cheese – that is so brilliant! This might be dinner tonight:-)
If I wasn’t allergic to avocados, I would be ALL over this sandwich. I should make this for my husband. Yum!!!
oh my GOSH!! i can hardly contain my excitement!!
Ahh! I have an avocado that desperately needs to be used, and last night I was thinking, I wonder how it’d be in grilled cheese. So funny you did this! And now I know it’s worth it for me to try 🙂 Looks so good!
I love your creativity. This sandwich sounds great to me!
LOVE the idea of guac grilled cheese! 🙂
what a great combination!! this is so amazing!
Drooling over my yogurt right now. I think I know what I’m having for lunch today!
Well, I just found my lunch.
I am slightly obsessed with both guacamole AND grilled cheese sandwiches, so this is just about the most perfect thing ever!
Oh I am just DONE for. DOOOOONE FOR.
OH.
MY.
GOSH.
maria, this couldn’t be more perfect…i can’t wait to find some good avocados here!
What an excellent idea. I can’t wait to get my hands on some guac and try it for myself. Thanks!
omg this may be the perfect sandwich!
Guacamole on grilled cheese sounds like a wonderful idea!
Oh yum Maria! What a nice twist on the ol grilled cheese!
mmmm yummy just what i feel like for lunch!
We just posted a simple guacamole recipe on our blog today. There is still some guacamole in the fridge from yesterday’s photo-shoot of it. It’s meant to be! The kids are going to love this for lunch.
damn, if only I could do cheese, I would be ALL over this! This amazing and love the addition of the guacamole.
this is genius! gaucamole + grilled cheese are two of the best foods of all time.
Since you like having another person to feed, I’m thinking I should come over after Josh’s brother leaves. I can hold the baby, you can make me one of these grilled cheeses…we all win!!
I’m obsessed with that bread. It looks amazing.
Heaven on a plate! Love avocado!
Shut. The. Door! These look awesome. Basically a quesadilla with bread instead of tortillas. I need more reasons to eat guacamole, thank you!
oh wow, this looks fantastic. gooey cheese + guac? why didn’t i think of it? 🙂
Mmmm, definitely need some grilled cheese in my life now!!
Holy yum. Absolutely genius, I’m all over this!
Heaven! YUM!
This is pretty much the best sandwich ever!!!
What a fantastic idea! Now I know what I’m going to serve with my Mexican tortilla soup! Thanks!
This is seriously perfection to me!
Who doesn’t love a grilled cheese? And one stuffed with guacamole to boot! I would happily eat this for lunch on a daily basis!
Grilled cheese too? I made a breakfast grilled cheese sandwich yesterday. Now I can have grilled cheese for breakfast and lunch! YUM!
Thank you!
Oh heck yeah!! This is so going to be made for lunch this week! You’re such a genius! ps… thanks for the link! 🙂
This totally takes grilled cheese to the next level. Love it!
What a great idea…to merge guac and grilled cheese!
All of my favorite ingredients! What a great idea. Even sounds good for breakfast!
Ohhh. I pinned this. GREG
Thanks Greg!
This sounds a-freakin’-mazing.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more enthused about grilled cheese!
Oh yum! You know I have been trying to get Rachel to try being creative with guac. I wanted to put it on pizza but she declined. I’d totally try this – think I will. I bet once she took a bite Rachel would love this too =D
Oh gosh, this sandwich looks awesome!! I adore grilled cheese and am always happy to find new variations. I can’t wait to try this, awesome idea!
This was absolutely fantastic! I rushed home and made one for lunch! Great idea 🙂
Makes a great lunch, huh?
I just made this and it’s fabulous — the only substitution I used was fresh sourdough bread because it’s what I had on hand and everything still tasted great!
Glad you liked it!
That DOES look SO good!
It is a delicious idea! I like it 🙂
Happy Wednesday 🙂
Grilled cheese is like the best thing on earth!! but when you add guacamole… WOW, best thing in the universe!
What an awesome idea! Love it!
What a great idea! I’ll be making mine with Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar (from Vermont, like me!) and avocados from our family farm in California! The Fuerte avocados are in season now…they’ll be scrumptious in this sandwich!
This looks so incredibly delicious!
ha! this is awesome. i bet even a little hummus in there wouldn’t be a bad thing, either 🙂
Now that grilled cheese has my name all over it! All my favorite flavors!
Now this is my kind of sandwich! I can’t believe I have never thought of this before. Bookmarked.
Oooh yes. I love when there are extra people around to cook for, too. I’d love it even more if I was making this divine sandwich!!
Holy Yum! Just decided what we’re having for dinner! Thanks!
I think this looks fantastic!
I’ve tried so many different varieties of grilled cheese. Why haven’t I thought of adding Avacado to it?! Amazing recipe. Can’t wait to try!
I never imagine we can use Guacamole in a sandwich, we eat it as a dip, but never inside a bread. And it’s strange because here in my country avocado sandwish is very common, in fact, is one of my favorites. There is a sandwish we caled “Triple” and is made with one slice of bread, mashed avocado, bread, egg, bread, tomato and bread.
This sandwich looks amazing! I wish I wasn’t allergic to avocado! I just love guacamole! 🙁
What a simple, awesomely do-able idea! This is why I love you 🙂
A colorful and good looking sandwich. Clever idea.
oooo la la this is my kind of grilled cheese!! #swoonx100000
ummm yes! This looks like it would make an awesome weeknight meal!
I know it’s a lot of fat, but I LOVE avocadoes and cheese together. SO.GOOD. This does sound like the best sandwich ever!
Oh my word…I want it. Will you save me one? I’ll be right over.
I could live on grilled cheese and with guacamole, even better!
omg why havent i thought of these before?!
What a fabulous combination. I can’t wait to give this a try! Great idea!
Ohhhhhhhh. Can I come eat at your house? 🙂 Between this sandwich, which is a combination I never would have thought of, and the polenta dish, which I am planning to try next week, wow. Thank you for such a lovely and inspiring blog. And congratulations again on your little one.
What a great idea – my kids love guacamole and grilled cheese, and together it must be super creamy tasting.
Oh, wow! This looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to give it a try!
Yum….My mouth is watering. You make it hard to try losing baby weight with all this yummy food!
This looks like all sorts of heaven 🙂
What a great idea!
: ))
Jen
The ultimate grilled cheese sandwich – loving up all that creamy cheese & guac 🙂
This looks amazing! What a perfect winter meal. I think I’ll have two!
Sounds amazing!
I think this is really a great treat for me if I made one on breakfast
I love this idea! Like you, I’m always looking for new ways to dress up the boring old Grilled Cheese. My kids love guac, so I am sure this will be a hit with them. Another one that has really worked for us is Grilled Cheese and Jelly. Brighter, tarter flavors of Jelly work best with this. It’s kind of like a cheese platter for kids. And adults.
i could eat this sandwich right off my computer screen!
Yum! I’ve been putting avocado and bacon on our grilled cheese the last couple weeks – it’s so good. But guacamole would add even more flavor! I love tasty, easy dinners.
The thought of this sandwich makes me so happy. I <3 guacamole!
What a great idea! I am not a huge fan of grilled cheese, but I love guacamole on just about anything. These look amazing!
I’m not much of a plain grilled cheese person, always have to add something and THIS sounds beyond delicious!!! I will be trying at my house:)
Oh what a fabulous idea!!! Thanks for sharing Maria!
OH MY GOSH. i cannot wait to make this!!!
I just pinned this to my sandwich board. I mean are you kidding me with this!!??? YUUUMMMMMM
oh my gosh, now this just sounds crazy good!!! I’m a total sucker for guacamole
What a great combination!
Such a great idea, Maria! I can imagine Gaby will be loving this!
Oh man, this looks amazing! I just posted about an egg salad I made with guacamole. Basically, I could eat guac with everything. Not to mention, cheese 🙂
Yes, it’s official, guacamole makes everything better! I have a hard time with plain old grilled cheese – too one-note for me. This is genius Maria!
I try to always make my grilled cheese with avocados! Love it! I posted a recipe of it last fall if you wanted to check it out! Yours looks delicious! http://www.aturtleslifeforme.com/2011/10/grilled-cheese-adult-style.html
sounds fabulous!!!
this is essentially like a quesadilla
Way to get some tasty nutrients into a yummy grilled cheese!
Grilled cheese with guac sounds AMAZING!! I can’t believe I’ve never seen this combo before!
Thanks for linking up Maria! I featured you post in my wrap up http://tidymom.net/2012/valentines-day-ideas/ Have a great weekend!
no doubt this goes fast! yummmmy!
Okay, when I surprise my surfer with this he is going to feel right at home and think that he’s back in Calli 😀 Luv it!
I love the idea of this sandwich! As a vegetarian, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to use foods like avocados and cheese — two of my favorites! Thanks for sharing!
This looks really good! I love avocado! Going to have to try this. I think I’m going to add some crumbled bacon too!
oh man – this is like my dream sandwich!
this looks A-mazing!
Guacamole and grilled cheese are my two most favorite comfort foods! What a wonderful and unique idea to combine them!! As soon as I saw your post, I knew I had to make it as soon as possible! I made it this past weekend and it was absolutely fantastic and one of my new favorites!!
Now that’s a nice looking grilled cheese!
Is it me or does the image of the sandwich have a bread, cheese, guac, cheese, bread arrangement? It looks that way to me. The instructions read bread, quac, cheese quac, bread order. Not that it matters all that much, i just wanted to be clear! 🙂 Thanks.
You can make the sandwich either way. It will be good no matter what:)
Looks fantastic, but what’s the red in the sandwich? Tomato? Red pepper? It’s not mentioned in the recipe.
It’s tomato-it’s in the guacamole and it is in the recipe:)
Thanks for sharing. tried this and it was amazing 🙂
Looks wonderful and I’m printing it today so I may pick up all ingredients! Do you know how I may convert these ingredients for nutrition info? My daughter and I are seeing a nutritionist and find it necessary to get a caloric count on the servings. Thanks for the inspiration!
I so want to try this!! Great idea for my new vegetarian diet!:)
Oh Wow! I love avocados but I love guacamole even more. What a fabulous idea for a grilled cheese sandwich! And the pictures… they make me want to reach into my computer and grab one. 🙂
The sandwich was awesome! Thank you so much for the idea!
This looks so good, I will be making it soon! I just submitted this to the M&T Spotlight http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight
Thanks Sue!
This looks delicious! What a great idea! I love guacamole and I’m sure it would be great addition to a grilled cheese sandwiches.
This sandwich was amazing! I made it for lunch, and I have to admit, it’s better than a regular grilled cheese.
It works really well if you crumble up the cheese and mix it into the guacamole.
Made this for my family today and it was delish! Added some spinach leaves to the sandwich, just because.
Glad you liked the sandwich!
What a great idea! Tried it and loved it!!!
I was introduced to grilled cheese/avocado at a local restaurant. I make it at home now, but use swiss cheese. . .YUMMO!

This looks beyond delicious! I can’t wait to try this.
Trying this with pepper jack! What a great creation!

I made these tonight with Wholly Guacamole instead of making my own. I needed an easy dinner and this was so good and so easy. You are brilliant!

Made this for dinner tonight along with your cilantro lime quinoa and some black beans. It was so, so good!! I used a whole grain crusty bread from the grocery store bakery, plus Boar’s Head cheddar cheese. Thank you for the great recipe!
Hi , I just added your amazing sandwich as a pin on pinterest. Hope it was ok, if not I will remove it.
It was the most amazing grilled sandwich I have ever had! Hubby loved it too! 🙂

This looks fabulous! I’m super new at this blogging thing but will have to make these with a big bowl of chili as soon as the weather turns cool. Thnaks!!!
I just made this but made it into a quesadilla instead because I had no bread. Basically did the guacamole & cheddar on a whole wheat tortilla. Cooked with light olive oil cooking spray. It was super delicious and easy.
I finally made this today after dreaming about this sandwich all week while our avocados ripened. I mmm’d my way through each and every bite! It totally lived up to my every expectation and more and is now my new favorite sandwich. Thank you so much for sharing!
this recipe is amazing, especially that I’m the kind of person that can’t stand to eat the same food twice in a month. thanks
best guac ive ever made! my mother in law couldn’t stop eating it! I added a few dashes of chipotle pepper salt. tasted so so good on the grilled cheese sandwich also! will certainly be making this again 🙂
This might have already been suggested (I didn’t read all 200 comments) but just in case- try adding sliced smoked turkey breast & bacon. The different textures and flavors complement each other wonderfully and make for a truly awesome grilled cheese!
I care for such info a lot. Wholesale Shamballa Bracelet http://ku-pay.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=473159
Made this today for lunch. It’s so good! Hubby loved it!
Fantastic! I used a chipotle gouda instead of cheddar, and my own guac recipe (because I’m a bit if a guac- fanatic). Melty, gooey cheese with guacamole; seriously in heaven. My husband thinks I should add bacon next time. (He always wants to add bacon.) yes!
This grilled cheese looks so delicious. Have you entered it in the Grilled Cheese Academy’s recipe showdown? If not, you should! Here’s the website: http://grilledcheeseacademy.com
This just looks like summer in a sandwich to me – yum!
This is a fantastic sandwich. 5 * (* bad / ***** excellent).
Maria and Josh – thanks for your great receipts!!!
This guacamole grilled cheese sandwich really sounds interesting. Love this sauce for tacos but have never tried it for sandwiches. This is definitely going to be a must try. I am also quite curious as to how this would taste with plain avocados. Thank you for sharing this post.
Sounds delicious! But what’s the red stiff in the picture?
I love avocado on a grilled cheese sandwich. I will either roast avocados in the oven or stove top, and then add them. I add fresh cilantro. Being a vegetarian I add different grilled veggies and stuff to my grilled cheese. Add sundried tomatoes too.
This is such a great sandwich!! I’ve made it a few times for family and they all love it! Perfect, light summer meal!
awesome. I adoooore grilled cheese with guacamole on the side, not in between lol. and I love avocado with pesto pasta, today making mac & cheese with avocado for the first time! your blog is awesome. you like a lot of the same things we do xD
Not only is this a fantastic idea, but the recipe for guacamole is delicious!
2 of my most favorite things! I made a guacamole grilled cheese for the first time today and now I am obsessed!
What a great idea! Making the grilled cheese healthier with the avocado.
their food is very good I like it very much .I hope next time you can see a better food.
YES! This looks amazing! I may throw some bacon in there too!

Nice recipe, TWO PEAS! The pictures look appetizing! I’m thinking of making this grilled cheese sandwich according your recipe for my lunch. Thx for sharing!
Wow! looks delicious. I would try making this Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich for sure! I found your post from Pinterest! I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Thanks for sharing guys!
How does this not have more comments!! This website was the top result when I googled “guacamole grilled cheese”. I’m visiting this from in July 2020 because it was my latest quarantine creation and I wanted to see if it existed, if my idea was truly original. This article has been here for 8 years. Only I make my grilled cheeses with mayonnaise instead of butter! And I put some pickles inside too!
Delicious! I didn’t have any bread, so I used a tortilla. Can’t wait to try it out with bread too!
amazing taste amazing chesse is soo good with guacomle and i hate chesse wower yummm thanks
