Recipe Introduction

"The quality of a BLT sandwich all comes down to its simple ingredients. Once you master the classic version, give this dressed-up BLT a try."

List of Ingredients

◦ 1 large avocado
◦ 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
◦ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
◦ 1 teaspoon honey
◦ ⅛ teaspoon salt
◦ 8 slices sourdough bread
◦ 4 romaine lettuce leaves
◦ 1 beefsteak tomato, thickly sliced
◦ 12 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
◦ 6 ounces blue cheese crumbles


Recipe

Combine the avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, and salt in a bowl, and mash together until smooth. Spread the avocado mixture onto each slice of bread. On half of the bread slices layer the romaine, tomato, bacon, and blue cheese. Place the remaining slices of bread on top. Gently press the sandwiches, and cut them into halves.
