Step-by-Step

Prepare the Bacon:

Before we delve into the creation of your Avocado BLT, let’s set the stage with the bacon. Whether you prefer to cook it in a skillet or in the oven, the goal is to achieve crispy perfection. Once it’s reached the desired level of crispiness, let it rest on paper towels.

Mix the Sauce:

Every great dish has its secret sauce, and this sandwich is no exception. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set it aside.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Lay out 4 slices of your chosen bread. On each slice, spread a generous layer of the mayo-Dijon sauce.

Layer the Ingredients:

On two of the slices, begin layering the ingredients: lettuce leaves, crispy bacon slices, tomatoes, and avocados.

Complete the Sandwich:

Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread.

Optional Crunch:

For those who appreciate an extra element of freshness and crunch, consider adding a handful of sprouts.

Slice and Serve:

With your sandwich now complete, it’s time for the grand reveal. Much like a chef plating a dish, carefully cut each sandwich in half diagonally, unveiling the layers of vibrant colors and flavors, like a crescendo that leaves everyone in awe.

Enjoy Your Avocado BLT:

Serve your Avocado BLT sandwiches with a side of your choice, perhaps a simple salad or a handful of crispy sweet potato fries. 

In the end, this Wholesome Avocado BLT isn’t just a meal; it’s a flavorful composition. It’s a culinary masterpiece that celebrates individuality and personalization. Enjoy your unique and delicious Avocado BLT sandwich – a delightful twist on the classic!
