    List of Ingredients

    2 1/2 cups (lightly packed) fresh basil leaves
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
    12 thick-sliced bacon strips (about 1 pound)
    12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices fresh country-style white bread
    3 large tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch-thick rounds
    2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, sliced
    1 red onion, thinly sliced
    6 lettuce leaves






    Instructions
    Mix basil, mayonnaise and butter in processor until basil is finely chopped and mixture is well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

    Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; drain.

    Spread half of mayonnaise mixture over one side of 6 bread slices. Top each with 2 tomato slices. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top tomato slices with avocado, then with bacon strips, onion, and lettuce. Spread remaining mayonnaise mixture over remaining 6 bread slices. Place bread slices atop lettuce. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
