Melty, crispy, cheesy, gooey. Those would be the four most important components of any guilty pleasure meal. Well, when you combine the goodness of guacamole with the power of bacon in a single glorious grilled cheese, the outcome is nothing short of a culinary miracle.

It’s not as easy as just pulling all of the ingredients out of the fridge, slapping them on the griddle and calling it a day. No way.

Food blogger Kevin Lynch’s recipe calls for bringing all ingredients up to room temperature before making this delectable monstrosity. The temperature of the ingredients is important so all of them melt into the cheese perfectly, without leaving behind any inconsistencies temperature wise. The last thing you would want when biting into a grilled cheese is a cold gob of guacamole.

Directions:

Step 1: Cook bacon until crispy. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess fat.
