    Grilled Cheese Guacamole Sliders & A Super Bowl Partay!

    0 shares

    I ain’t gonna lie, I could care less about football, but I did watch half the Super Bowl because the New York Giants were playing and of course, the commercials and Madonna.  She's still got it at 53!DSC_0534 - Copy

    Another confession, I was flipping between the Super Bowl and a NONSTOP Sex and the City marathon on channel E!  Don’t the girls look like they’re having more fun?  I thought so, too.

    A few friends came over to watch the Super Bowl with my husband and I.  My friend, Jhiane, made Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings which turned out good.  I made Spinach Dip w/veggies and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Chocolate Truffles which were AMAZING! 
    I also served Chips & Guacamole, Grilled Cheese Guacamole Sliders, and Banana Bread Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze (healthy).  And of course, what's a party without Martinis!

    I cooked from 11 am to 5 pm, so by the time 5 pm rolled around, I passed out on the couch until my guests arrived.  I'll be sharing all my recipes with you in the coming weeks, but for now, let's talk about them Grilled Cheese Guacamole Sliders, shall we?DSC_0519
    I found the original recipe on Kevin's site - Closet Cooking.  I find Kevin's recipes to be simple and innovative.  Check out his site.DSC_0534
    Here are some swaps I made based on the original recipe:
        - I skipped the bacon (I don't eat red meat)
        - I skipped the tortilla chips, although this is a really good idea.
        - Instead of butter, I used Olive Oil.  I find avocado to be rich enough, so why add butter?
        - I added a touch of Crushed Red Pepper because I love everything in life hot & spicy. 😉
        - I used a softer French Bread to achieve the slider look for Super Bowl Weekend, but on a normal day I would much rather prefer to use 100% Whole Wheat Bread.

    Enjoy!DSC_0552

    NUTRITION:
    Avocados are a good source of Vitamin K, Fiber, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C.  They are also an excellent source of Antioxidants and great for your skin.  Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamins A and C.  Lime is an excellent source of Vitamin C.  Although high in fat, Cheese is an excellent source Protein and Calcium.  

    INGREDIENTS (enough to make 10 sliders):

    • Olive Oil – 1 tsp  (enough to make 2 to 3 sliders at a time)
    • French Bread (softer, or use Italian bread) – sliced  (for a healthier option, go for 100% Whole Wheat)
    • Monterey Pepper Jack Cheese – small handfuls on each side
    • Guacamole (use my amazing guac recipe) – 1 spoonful
    • Crushed Red Pepper – sprinkle to taste


    DIRECTIONS:
    1. Start by making my awesome guacamole, or your favorite guacamole recipe.  I doubled my recipe since I made enough guacamole for chips as well. 
    2. Then slice up a “softer” French bread.
    3. Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium heat – I urge you to use a cast-iron skillet for a smoky flavor.  Once heated, add a teaspoon of Olive Oil and place the bread on the skillet.
    4. Once slightly golden, flip the bread.  Add a “good amount” of cheese on each side – this is really the most unhealthy part of the sandwich, and it is grilled cheese, so load it up.IMG_5008
    5. Once it melts, add a spoonful of guacamole on 1 side.IMG_5010
    6. Sprinkle a bit of crushed red pepper.IMG_5011
    7. Cover the sandwich with the other half.  Gently press down.  IMG_5013
    8. Grill to perfection.  I love burnt cheese.  🙂IMG_5014
    9. Enjoy!  Creamy and gooey with a subtle kick of spice.  Tell me what you think.DSC_0563


    TELL ME: How did you celebrate Super Bowl Sunday?  What did you make?  Which team were you rooting for?

      The sliders look so delicious, such a great alternative than typical sliders! Also I love the avocado bowl for the guacamole - one less dish to wash ;)!

      They look so amazing - great way to use up leftover guac (in the rare instance that there is some leftover). 🙂

      The next time I'm in NY I'm inviting myself over for some of these sandwiches and the guacamole. They both look divine.

      And Madonna is 53? I had no idea. She looks amazing! I hope I look that good in less than 20 years. 🙁

      These look fantastic - I'm trying to eat more avocados in my diet at the moment, and I'm getting a bit bored of guacamole! I'd choose Sex and the City any day, too.

      It surely was a fun superbowl party. The sliders were great and the spinach dip. The peanut butter choclate truffles were so addictive and looked so professionally done. JC

      Your guacamole grilled cheese looks great! I like the idea of making a grilled cheese in the smaller french bread.

      @Ameena - you are invited anytime, but you'll have to cross the Hudson River, but seriously, next time you come, just let me know. I know, Madonna is 53! Eat avocado and stay young. 🙂

      This looks beyond delicious! I can't believe I never thought to add guac to a grilled cheese. Loving that you made it pint size!

      Since i don't care about the Super Bowl but adore food, I would spend all my time at your table...especially with a spread like that! Holy moly! And I'd probably be 15 pounds heavier when I left your door-step, with all the food I'd have stuffed in!
      I like the changes you made to the guacamole grilled cheese - I agree that avocado is rich and buttery enough to skip on the butter 🙂
