Avocado BLT Sandwich
You guys, I finally did my first run in 2016. I’m kinda late in the game this year but boy, it was fun. We did The Froyo Run and what’s more fun than a froyo party right after you hit the finish line. I don’t usually consider myself a runner and nor I was born to be one; so I have to fit in my practice time into my daily routine. In addition, I had to work overtime for the past two weeks. Actually I had my doubts on whether I could cross the finish line with my little practice time, but I did it. So, yay me!
After the run, I spent most of my afternoon cooking and baking. It was an eventful weekend, tiring but yet relaxing. And I have to say this Avocado BLT Sandwich is one of my favorite this weekend. Today’s theme is about regional dish and I have California in mind. A taste of California is not perfect without avocado (and other yumminess).
WOW!!! This Avocado BLT Sandwich is also pretty beautiful to look at!
This Avocado BLT Sandwich is so simple to make, but let me spill out the secret to this sandwich. Fresh ingredients, spread in every layer. No doubt, fresh ingredients make tasty meals; and I am sure you agree with me on this. And don’t forget to spread every layer. My dad, my perfectionist dad, taught me so many things in life; and one of them was to spread every layer of your toast evenly. I am glad that he passed his mantra on to me.
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon fried
- 4 slices whole grain sandwich
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 tbs chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tbs sriracha
- Baby romaine lettuce
- 1 to mato sliced + seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1/2 avocado sliced + seasoned with salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil and garlic. Spread the mixture evenly on the bread slices (just the inside part of the bun). On a medium baking sheet, arrange the slices evenly and broil 5 minutes, or until slightly brown.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together mayo and sriracha.
- Spread spicy mayo over the bun. Add lettuce, tomato slices, bacon, and avocado. Top with another bun and enjoy.
So what’s your favorite regional cuisine and what do you plan on cooking this weekend?

Once you have avocado on a BLT–you never want it any other way!

A blt just has to have avocado. This one looks incredible! I bake my bacon, which is my new favorite way to prepare it and then I dip the bread in the bacon fat. It’s insanely good.
Linda says
Thank you, Laura. Glad you could enjoy it 🙂
