The first Sourdough Melt that we tried was the Bacon Avocado Melt. This sandwich has applewood smoked bacon and avocado, but also smoked gouda, everything bagel seasoning, and a standout spicy chipotle sauce. The good? The flavors were all very strong and worked so well together — the smokiness of both the gouda and the bacon elevated each other, making for a very satisfying combination. The fresh avocado cut through that smokiness and brought almost a buttery texture and flavor. Lastly, the chipotle aioli was really something. It wasn't spicy enough to overpower the rest of the sandwich, but the mild heat certainly kicked it up a notch.
The bad? The sandwich was seriously under-filled. Maybe that was just this one time at this one location, but it was it bit of a letdown. Also, we were a little disappointed to find that the Panera sourdough bread on this sandwich was only very, very lightly toasted, which threw the whole texture off and made the melt feel slightly gummy. It didn't help that so many of the elements to the sandwich were creamy — avocado, aioli, cheese — meaning it really needed some toasty crispiness from the bread.
