Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (sourdough or your choice)
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 leaves Lettuce (romaine or green leaf)
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the bacon cooks, slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
To prepare the avocado spread, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toast the slices of bread until golden brown using a toaster or on a stovetop pan, if desired.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a layer of the avocado mixture onto one side of each slice of bread. If using, layer mayonnaise on the other slice of bread.
Place two lettuce leaves on the avocado-spread side of the bread, followed by three slices of bacon, and several slices of tomato.
Top with the remaining slice of bread, avocado side down, and gently press together.
Slice each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your BLT with avocado spread!
