Instructions

  1. Prepare the spread
    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, mayonnaise, and garlic powder until well combined. This will create a flavorful spread that helps create a perfectly crisp exterior.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches
    Lay out the bread slices on a cutting board. Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice. Flip two of the slices over and layer with cheddar cheese, avocado slices, bacon, and pepper jack cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side facing out.
  3. Heat the pan
    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for about 30 seconds.
  4. Cook the sandwiches
    Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted completely. Press down gently with a spatula occasionally to help the cheese melt and the sandwich hold together.
  5. Rest and serve
    Remove the grilled sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute before cutting in half diagonally. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melty.
