Grilled Bread And Guacamole Butter Food

GRILLED BREAD AND GUACAMOLE "BUTTER"

Steps:

• Cut bread diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices and brush both sides of each slice with oil.
• Prepare grill (or preheat oven).
• Grill bread in batches on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it, until toasted on both sides, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, bread may be toasted in batches on a baking sheet in a 350°F. oven until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.) Grilled bread may be made 1 week ahead and cooled completely before keeping in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Halve avocados and discard pits. Spoon flesh into a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and blend just until smooth. Guacamole "butter" may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.
• Serve bread topped with dollops of guacamole "butter."

BACON GUACAMOLE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cook the bacon until crispy and set aside on paper towels to drain.
• Butter one side of each slice of bread, sprinkle half of the cheese onto the unbuttered side of one slice of bread followed by the guacamole, bacon, tortilla chips, the remaining cheese and finally top with the remaining slice of bread with the buttered side up.
• Grill over medium heat until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
