Begin by cooking bacon in a skillet over medium heat and then place on a paper towel to absorb excess fat. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and sauté onions over medium heat, until caramelized. Remove from heat and place in a dish.

Add 2 slices of bread to the skillet over medium heat and top each slice with a thin slice of Cabot White Oak Cheddar (or your favorite Cabot cheese flavor). Then layer half of a bacon slice, ¼ of the onions, and ¼ of the avocado on each slice, and top with another slice of bread. Heat until browned on the bottom and cheese begins to melt. Flip over and heat until bottom slice is browned and toasted. Remove the two sandwiches and repeat.

Heat tomato soup or tomato sauce and serve with grilled cheese sandwiches for dipping. Enjoy!
