Little toasts topped with a simple homemade guacamole and crispy bacon? There aren’t a whole lot of things that are better than that. Here’s how you make ’em:
Use a skinny French baguette for this recipe. Give those slices a quick, light spread of butter and a sprinkle of garlic salt. Broil them for 1 to 2 minutes.
Top with shredded cheddar, then pop ’em under the broiler for another couple of minutes…
…until they are nice and melted and toasted on the edges.
Transfer your grilled cheese toasts to a platter and get ready to top them with the good stuff.
First give them a good smudge of easy, homemade guacamole (see the recipe below for the details).
Here’s the BACON I used that I was so excited to find. I always, ALWAYS buy center-cut bacon, but to find center-cut bacon that was of the Applewood Smoked variety was quite exciting. It’s infinitely better than the regular stuff. I found this kind at my local market (Albertson’s). Fry it up until it’s crispy, then chop it into little chunks.
Use those crispy chunks of bacon to top the guacamole, along with a few chopped tomatoes.
Totally optional here, but you can garnish them with a little leaf of cilantro or Italian parsley, if you’d like.
Add a few lime wedges on your platter for those who might like a squeeze, and serve to your hungry Super Bowl guests. This one is pretty much guaranteed to be a favorite for Game Day- for both avocado and bacon lovers alike. My family of taste testers happily gobbled these up in no time! So who will you be rooting for on Super Bowl Sunday?? Or are you just in it for the food? Or will you be ditching the whole thing and going to a movie instead? Since I grew up in the Bay Area, and my uncle happened to be college buddies with their famous coach Bill Walsh and the rest of my family still roots for them… I’ve gotta go with the 49ers for this Super Bowl. Go Niners!
