The Best Avocado BLT

The Best Avocado BLT

This BLT has been my FAVORITE since quarantine has started. It’s simple but so good!

When a BLT is made well, it’s amazing. When it’s made bad, it’s a boring dry sandwich… and who want’s that? In my opinion, a great sandwich includes toasty bread and creamy sauce. When those are perfect everything else falls into place. In my recipe I use sourdough and toast it. I think a bread with a crispy crust is perfect for this recipe.

I used Hellmans mayo because it’s my favorite but you can use whatever mayo is your favorite. Spread on both sides and then place your avocado on to it. I think the sandwich holds together more when the avocado is more on the ripe side then overripe.

Cut the tomato slices into thin slices for your sandwich. Thinner slices are easier to eat and hold your sandwich together better. Trust me on this one, multiple slices is better than one big one that will just slide right off the sandwich. I also chop my mixed greens down to be able to pack a lot in the sandwich.

Last but not least, the bacon. The mixture of bacon and minced ginger is something I never thought I’d love. It’s a delicious combination. I recommend adding it after your bacon begins cooking a little. The ginger mixed with the mayo and avocado creates an amazing taste with the fresh tomato and crispy bread.
