Step 1
Mash the avocados in a big bowl. Add the chopped onion, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper, then mix everything together until it’s well combined. Gently fold in the tomato to keep things nice and chunky.
Step 2
Spread as much guacamole as you like onto two slices of bread, then layer two slices of Havarti cheese on top of each. Place the remaining bread slices on top and butter the outsides of the sandwiches.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sandwiches for about 2 to 3 minutes on one side, until they turn golden brown. Flip them over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the other side is just as crispy and browned.
Step 4
Once done, take them off the heat, slice up, and enjoy your cheesy, creamy creation!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve this sandwich with a side of crispy fries or a simple green salad. A bowl of tomato soup also pairs wonderfully for a classic comfort meal. Add some pickles or sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
How To Store This Recipe
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep the bread crisp and cheese melted. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
