I will definitely give this recipe a try. One tip that I'd like to share, is to use mayonnaise on the bread instead of butter when frying. Because of the oil in the mayo, it has a higher smoking point than butter, which helps to stop the bread from burning or charring. And it doesn't change the taste of grilled cheese either.

An agreeable marriage of the grilled cheese sandwich and fresh guacamole, which went quite nicely with Recipe #408617! DH found it very satisfying and a nice change from both pain grilled cheese and our standard quesadillas. I made a minor change in that I used Colby Jack cheese instead of cheddar cheese, but no other changes made and DH liked that the guacamole was not too spice for his taste. Thank for the post.

No, don't use medium-high heat, that burns the bread and it isn't good for you. The best grilled cheese sandwiches are cooked on low and this is no exception. Burned food is not "good eats'.
