Gourmet Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Tomato, and Avocado

There is no other comfort food quite like a really good grilled cheese, and this grilled cheese is no exception with its tantalizing tastes of melted Cheddar, American, bacon, freshly sliced tomato, and avocado. Gourmet grilled cheese with bacon tomato and avocadoThis sandwich probably beats all the grilled cheese I’ve ever made. It’s kinda funny because a year ago, I didn’t really like avocado; it just wasn’t one of my favorite foods at all. This summer it’s like my tastes have reawakened, and I can’t get enough of it.

Of course, I couldn’t have made this grilled cheese without my handy Avocado Slicer from Good Cook. Good Cook Avocado SlicerThis slicer made pitting and slicing the avocados an easy peasy process. The hook on the end of the handle helps you to remove the avocado pit.

    I had guacamole for the first time ever this past May. It was delicious. This recipe sounds and looks wonderful. I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing. I would love the citrus tools. I have been cooking with more lemon and orange peel so this would be a great addition to my kitchen arsenal! :)
