The Chorizo Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a bold, mouthwatering twist on the beloved classic. It combines spicy crumbled chorizo, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and gooey cheddar cheese, all tucked between golden, buttery sourdough slices. This indulgent creation is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a hearty brunch—quick to make and sure to impress.
4 slices of sourdough bread
1 tablespoon butter, for grilling
4 slices of cheddar cheese
½ cup cooked chorizo, crumbled
4 slices of cooked bacon
1 ripe avocado, sliced
Optional: mayonnaise or mustard for spreading
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
To assemble each sandwich:
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled chorizo, two bacon slices, a few slices of avocado, and another slice of cheddar.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Grill the sandwich in the skillet for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Press lightly with a spatula until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice diagonally, and serve hot.
This sandwich is best served immediately while the cheese is still melty and the bread is crispy. For a well-rounded meal, consider serving it with:
A warm bowl of tomato soup
A light green salad with lemon vinaigrette
Crispy potato wedges or kettle chips
