There are few things better to start out a Bacon Month, than a big, beautiful Avocado Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
Holla atcha bacon! Word.
I swear to you this sandwich isn’t burnt. It’s the lighting. I am in the middle of a very annoying move, that happened unexpectedly, due to health problems with a couple of my girls. So I am working with what I have, and that toast is perfectly toasted, just in some shadow making it look at burned and dumb.
It’s deliciously perfect. I mean, it has bacon, so how can it not be perfect?
The ingredients are very simple too. Just some cheese, some avocado, tomatoes, and a giant pile of bacon bacon bacon bacon!
If you are following along in my bacon shenanigans, you can find three different giveaways going on, as well as so many bacon-centric recipes it will make your brain spin. Bacon Jam, anyone? Or how about some bacon jam grilled cheese?!
Clearly, I love bacon in my grilled cheese. It’s a no-brainer.

Made this sandwich for lunch today and decided to make it open-faced. I also used provolone cheese vs. the monterey jack. Bacon, tomatoes and avocado are such a great combination and they really make a very healthy sandwich..

Beautiful photos and what an amazing looking sandwich. Did you use an artificial light source, or natural?
Karly says
Thank you, Lisa! I actually use artificial lighting, because I have terrible natural lighting where I am staying, and because I am a control freak, ha ha ha!
